I went to our local school, Highfield’s Primary.  I could see the school from my bedroom window, it was literally a three minute walk from my house.  I loved going to Primary, I had the time of my life, some great friends, I loved the teachers, and I loved being there.  We’d have snowball fights on the fields at playtime, which isn’t allowed now.  I came second in every event at sports day, Lucy Wood would beat me by a second in everything, every time.  We’d make Meccano vehicles if we’d been well behaved, and ride them down the school corridors.  I used to take Mr Harris’s guinea pig home at the weekend, and I was in his chess club….I must add “learn to play chess again” to my bucket list. We’d play marbles in the drain in the playground.  And when the bell rang, line up outside the boys and girls toilets, in single file, to walk back through the toilets to school.  So much has changed in those few years, to what schools are like now.  I bet it’ll change even more so by the time I finish my book.    

I loved being in the school plays, they were my favourite part of primary school.  In Reception Class I was the Sunshine.  Although I did make it as Mary in a Nativity one year.  I remember being completely head over heals in love with Steven Linnett at school, when I was about 7.  Years later, I found him on Facebook, he says he’s been in and out of prison more times than he can remember, mostly for stealing or robbery. I’m glad nothing came of that one.    

I remember the first record I ever bought, was Limahl’s Never Ending Story, in 1984.  I bet children these days, don’t even know what a record is.  CD’s took over, but they’re becoming a distant memory now, everyone downloads music or streams it these days. I’ve always loved music.  It’s a great escape from life, and to switch off from the world and gather your thoughts. I went to Brownies and then Guides as a child.  I hated both of them.  I stuck Brownies out because I thought Guides would be much more interesting, and I didn’t want to risk them not taking me, if I’d left Brownies.  But Guides was terrible too.  I found both very boring, and I remember Brown Owl used to sit facing the wall, and we used to have to go up behind her, put our hands on her shoulders, and she’d inspect our nails, are they clean?  Are they cut short?  I couldn’t help thinking, this isn’t what I signed up for.  My only saving grace, was that Samantha next door came to Brownies too.   How times have changed, now girls are allowed to go to Scouts, and even if they don’t, Guides tend to do much more interesting and productive things nowadays.  When we weren’t at school, Guides, Rounders, and football, and we weren’t on a day trip out, we were “hanging around” with friends.  Back then, in the 1980’s, you could play out all day, safely, there weren’t any weirdo’s, the world seemed safe.  The neighbour’s would leave their front doors, not just unlocked, but wide open.  We’d all wander into each others homes, and parent would welcome this.  All of the children, and the adults knew each other.  It’s not like that these days, the world has turned toxic.  We’d go for day long bike rides, and only come home when we were starving, or it had started to get dark.  I have a lovely scar on my left knee from coming off my bike, and landing on glass.  I was a bit of a Tomboy back then.  (maybe I still am) We’d play Kerby with the neighbours, we’d go on adventures, and play dares.  I remember Ginny Smith, from just up the road, daring me to find out what’s in the middle of a golf ball.  Challenge accepted.  So, once I got the hard white shell off, there was metres and metres of elastic wound round.  After unpicking all of this, a very small, slightly squishy black ball was inside.  Well, this wasn’t enough for us, why is it squishy?  I bit it, to crack it open, but it popped and lots of black gunk burst out into my mouth, it was thick and sticky like tar.  Still now, at forty years old, Gin often reminds me of this day.  

Ian and I, used to have Sam and John from next door, around a lot, as our parents and theirs, were best of friends.  We’d often sit in my bedroom with the lights out, and tell each other ghost stories.  Scaring each other to death, and then no-one dare move to switch the light back on.  Sometimes, we’d get the whole neighbourhood together, for a game of cricket, or rounders, or football.  The parents sometimes joined in too.  There was a really community spirit where we grew up. I loved it. My parents both smoked….everyone did in the 80’s.  I hated it, as did John next door.  I have lots of memories of him and I having our t shirts or jumpers pulled up over our noses, so we didn’t have to smell the smoke.  I often asked my parents to stop, and regularly remember telling them that if I died of passive smoking, it’s their fault.  I’m not one for mincing my words, and looking back, this was probably the first sign of that fact.  Later in my life, mum would stop smoking.  Still to this day, dad smokes and Ian went on to smoke from a very young age too.  It’s weird how two children, with the same parents, brought up exactly the same, can be so different to each other really.  Ian tells people I’m weird.  I don’t think I am, I love my life, I work hard, and have my priorities in order, we’re just different.
