Hello Roy One. Oh yes, I had forgotten my father telling me about his shoes being lined with cardboard or sheets of newspaper that got absolutely sodden in the rain and snow! How I wish I had asked more questions and, more importantly, listened to what he told me - but I guess most of us say that (and our children will probably do the same when we've gone!). I've spent hours and hours and quite a few £££'s doing family history and absolutely no-one in the family is interested, so I guess it will go in the bin with all my other 'treasures' when I'm no longer around. But that's the way it goes I guess. Thank you for sharing your story Roy.
