Whilst I was in Germany my parents moved to
Northamptonshire, where they were born and raised. My father was
born in Ringstead and started his working life driving
Traction Engines for Grundy's of Kettering, Northants.
Mum was born in Raunds, Northants. Once married, they set up
home at Back Lane, Denford, Northants . My dad was never at
home as the dredging work took him all over England and
Ireland. He and his gang made the large lake at Blatherwycke
just off the A43 Corby to Stamford road. The picture
immediately below
was taken at Blatherwyke in about 1932.
My parents moved to Leagrave, Bedfordshire in 1937
where my dad worked at the Sundon Cement Works. They lived
there until 1957, up to the time I left the Royal Air
Force, before moving to Wellingborough, Northamptonshire.
On completing my National Service Duty I was just twenty
years old and was about to start a new life living with Mum and
Dad in our new home in Butts Road, Wellingborough.
