From Sixty Two to

I didn't even know what a memoir was when I started writing this! What I discovered though, was that this is not an autobiography as it doesn't span the whole of my life but rather sums up some of what I have done from being born in 1962 to becoming 62 years old. When I started to write this, I quickly realised that until now I had no great interest in my family history and I expect the same will be true for my children. It did become clear though, that by the time I was interested and got round to doing something about it, many of the people and events were forgotten or unavailable. Some of what I have written seems very old fashioned now. What it does show is how times have changed in what really is a short space of time.
