my youth ...
A short video clip
taken from a recently found Cine-Film of a bed-push I took part
in way back as a 19 year old when ‘our gang’ pushed the bed the 15 miles
from Halesowen to Stourport in aid of leukaemia research. I find this
clip fascinating, not only because sponsored events were relatively
unheard of then, but because ‘Health & Safety’ was obviously an unknown
concept – as is clearly demonstrated by our total lack of!! See the
YouTube video here. Oh so thin; oh so young; oh for a full head of non-grey
hair!!
what's new ...
my Grandfather McBain's name was
read out during the Roll of Honour at the Tower of London -
In a very
moving act
of
remembrance,
my
grandfather's
name was
at sunset on
Monday 22nd
September, among the
140 or so
names - part
of a nightly
event to
mark the 100
yr anniversary
of WW1. You
can see a video of the
event
HERE
[you can
skip to 2
minutes if
you only
want to hear
my
grandfather's
name].
