The Next Move

Our Next Move 1965 or Thereabouts.

This Was Our Next Move. A Small Village in the Countryside And My Father Being The New Village Bobby (Policeman).

This Was The Police House And Office (Station) Behind House (Small Building At Top Of Driveway).

My First Encounter With An Old Car.

I was in The Village And Playing With My New Friends When We Stumbled Apon An Old Gray Ford Popular That Must Have Been There A Long Time As Weeds And Other Growth All Around The Car. I Opened The Door and it squeeked. Somehow i maanaged to undo the handbrake from under the dashboard and it rolled down onto the road lol. The Brake Drums were not seized. So i turned the car onto The Road And my Friends Started to push it along the road. The a SHOUT!  HEY! Come Back with my Car  We All Heard a man Shout. i got out and started to run away and the others did also. lol (I was 10 years old at the time I Did/nt Know). Next thing I heard Was My Father Telling Me Off about it. and Grounded for a Day lol.

It Was Here I remember It Was Sitting there up on the left.

Someone Told Me That There Was An old Castle Near The Village. The Villagers Called it "The Crag"

There it is. Many A Time I Climbed up There.

My Old Primary School Where I Passed my 11+ Exam To Go To Secondary School In Anstruther. Waid Academy.

My Old Primary School I Attended Till I Passed my 11+ Exam To Go Into Secondary School In Anstruther. Fife. Waid Academy.

At Lunchtimes I watched the old School Meals van Arrive with our meals and Crates of Milk.

Like This One. And The Driver of the Van always Let Me Sit in the Drivers Seat. I Remember The Steering Wheel Was Large and Had A Big Button in the Middle Which had the "BEDFORD" logo on it. Yes it was the horn lol. BEEP BEEP BEEP.

And of cource our daily half pint of milk in a bottle with a straw.

Another Song That Creeps into my mind was this one...
