Well Doug long time no see,brilliant days.Remember camping at Skeggy? I do. you mentioned the Beatles I have memories of listening to All you need is love in a pub in Burgh le Marsh with you and Figs in 1967.Went in same pub a couple of years ago and guess what it is still on the juke box.Had to play it all the memories came flooding back .Hope you are keeping well old boy .By the way Figs is living in Torquay,It would be nice if we could all have another pint together.

 

You are spot on Ian here.What a great time it was good job great mates great music great weather great nights out plenty of money my own hair ,Make love not war summer of love. No responsibilties and we were young and full of it what ever IT was Wish I could go back there and turn back the clock .

Went to a MOJO reunion a couple of years ago it was held at the Leadmill.first time I have been in the building since 1969.The memories came

flooding back alot of the features are still there. .

We lost both mum and dad a few years ago how about your parents?I remember your mum and dad very well when we used to sit in there room room watching the monkeys show on the box .then we would get in your dads van and go on a pub crawl.

Our Mick is fine he now lives in Scarbrough always saying he is broke then goes and buys a new Bentley.Wish I was as skint as that.Spoken to him earlier on the phone he is of to Vietnam in the morning .Glad we have got in touch again. Ian
