Hi Malvary et al, This made me chuckle! I was born midway in the 40s, and remember the bikes and accidents well..... As well as one of my friends (?) feeding me poisonous berries to see if they really were poisonous!
But - I was demonstrating in our village last Sunday, and caught up with all the gossip from my close neighbours and friends whom I hadn't seen for ages - we still haven't had spring here, let alone summer, so no gardening to speak of yet. However, one of my neighbours and I were reminiscing! My son, when at primary school and aged about five, ran into her little boy - similar age. Jonathan - her little boy - fell into the wall of the school, cut his head open, and was concussed. The school rang his parents, Jon was whisked to hospital, and Duncan - our son - told me all about it when I collected him at the end of the afternoon. Naturally, I was mortified to think Duncs had caused any damage, so I went round to see how Jon was - but was terrified as I had wondered if I was going to be roundly castigated for what my 'little darling' had done. But - no talk of suing, or anything else - both parents were more concerned about my welfare, as Jenny says she still remembers the colour of my face when I knocked on her door! Poor Duncan is a Chef at the local golf club, where Jon's father is a member - and Duncan will never hear the last of it, I think! He feels that Jon got off lightly, as he was in bed for two days, then recovered, and all was well, whilst Duncan is still having jokes made at his expense, twenty-five years on! Carol - in Suffolk UK, where it is showery, blustery, and not in the least summer-like! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Malvary J Cole" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Chat" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2006 6:42 PM Subject: [lace-chat] To those born in the 1940's, 50's, and 60's !!
