LIKE COLOURED SHADOWS

All this talk about the 50's has awoken in me thoughts of times long gone by. As a lot of you know, ten years ago I wrote a lengthy but concise history of my family. This was done mainly for my children and any grandchildren I might have. When my darling mother died, all our family history and stories funny, herioc, and sad, died with her. Being the eldest child most of it was only known to me, and there was a lot that I didn't know either. I thought this such a waste, that I decided to write our family history, warts and all , so that this didn't happen to my children when I died. All of my siblings have a copy of my book, but I'm sad to say that a lot of them haven't read it! This is a great shame because it's not my autobiography, but the history of their family, and loaded with tales that they have never heard before. It's with this in mind, I wondered, if I wrote an abridged version in a series of blogs, whether they, or anyone else, would be interested enough to read it. It's not just the 50's , but starts at the beginning of the 30's and continues right up to 1998.
I have no desire to bore any one, and will only do this if people want me to.
