Yorkshire Winter - 1967
     

I was an ordinary kid.



Scrunched through snow to school.

Wind pelting bullets into apple cheeks.

Nose dripping.



Warm assembly hall. Grieg's
Morning.

Pungent aromas of boiled spuds

& gravy. Chocolate steamed pudding.



At six, I became extra ordinary.

Knowing, that whatever the season -

my parents often felt like winter.
