Here's a Christmas scene at our home. It's an intriguing picture. I know tht HBC is interesting in social trends at the time. So I hink you will find it interesting to have a look inside our home on this important holiday. I'm playing with toys I got at Christmas while my eldest brother is sat at a table making good use of his new painting by numbers set of oil paints. Excuse the state of the living room . But this is a real life view of our hime. It was being decorated just before Christmas and was finished afterwards. I think the year is about 1970. I'm playing with my new "Magic Robot" quiz game. You can also see my Dinky Scammell transporter lorry with Dinky cars.... three Minis, a Hillman Imp, an MGB GT and Simon Templar's Volvo with The Saint matchstick man on the bonnet. (UK readers will know what all that means!) The blue lorry and "Dizzy Bug" game were presents another brother had got. The clothes I'm wearing are a mystery. It's Christmas, so clearly I hadn't just got in from school. It might be Christmas Day itself or a Sunday and maybe we'd been to church, my oldest brother had got changed and I hadn't ... or maybe that's just what I wore anyway... I really don't know! I recall a good bit about my childhood, but here I jyst do not remember. You can see another family Christmas scene on the pop music page.
