We are going full steam ahead into the Christmas period in the week that traditionally schools would begin to close down having had the Christmas parties and dinner which at least at my school was the highlight of the school dinner year when things moved from okay to actually pretty yummy all round.
We'd of also of had our school plays which got more involved as we move up the year groups probably thinking we could do more and wasn't there a budding actor in the cast to whom this might be the spur to get more involved in drama?
Probably, but when we all said Jeremy whose papa was a big wig in the Steel Industry was such a drama queen it wasn't that which was in our minds!
That's the thing about Christmas really, all those memories from the past that spring back to life and yet you're making new ones as with a few spare moments I spoke with Maurice, a family member on Monday a bit about cos obviously this year's going to be a bit different and his late wife which I briefly worked with in 1984 went just before Christmas.
He did tell me about how that Christmas was for him as a father of two children just a few years younger than myself as he made christmas for them as hard going emotionally as it was which helped with thinking around this whole thing.
