Childhood Memories of Gorebridge

De: Ian Hall

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Growing up in Gorebridge... just ten miles south of Edinburgh, Scotland. This is a look back at the author's childhood memories, growing up in Gorebridge in the 1960's and 1970's. Family, friends, school, leisure, and local tradition play their part in shaping a youngster. This is the author's personal accounts of adventures, interactions and memories of childhood life 'back in the day'. With over 23,000 words, and many pictures, he depicts a life less complicated than today, when children grew up at their own pace, not unnaturally matured by an overwhelming media. A time when, although still fascinated with the intricacies of nature and science, they adhered to certain local and cultural traditions, passed down through the generations. There was no politically correct agenda to limit development, just a feeling of optimism that pervaded all parts of life. This is rural, parochial, small town Scotland at its best and worst. All the author's own memories. All true. Ian Hall; "Although these are primarily addressed as my own memories, friends are invited to contact me to add their own reminiscences."
