Best memories: being 'dropped' by parents after longish drive from North Devon. Bev Lawson's stockings. Trips to Twickenham for the Varsity match in Geoffrey's drophead Lagonda and 'away' rugby matches. Meeting RFU president at Sherborne Prep and smacking their over age winger, Christopherson, first in the teeth then in what was left of his remaining credentials. Eric's 'O' gauge model railway and his drophead Bentley. Swimming to the Flat Rock and becoming a 'B' swimmer. Becoming a longstanding joint admirer of Miss Cotter and eventually Francis Thomas. Shared number 42 with William Edge. Walks to Poole (first one aged 8 and 8 miles), then Corfe and Creech. (Shame we never made Worbarrow).........
