Step back in time: to 1961I remember it so well,having married 1957 by 1961 had our second baby (went on to have two more girls) I was 18 my husband was 20 we started in a flat with gas lighting (went halves with the landlord to have electric) 1961 we bought our first house for £1450 with a mortgage of £8.9.1 per month.Times were hard had the princely sum of 8shillings a week family allowance, this was for the second child none for the first,I worked part time in a chemists shop, then despite having four children worked until I was 60 and then retired on health reasons.i think 1961 and the following years were the best as everything we had we worked for and became very proud of our home. I remember being determined that my children would be fed and clothed as well as we could,they were never short of love even if we were short of money at times. Now we have been married for 64 years, and have been blessed with a lovely family that keeps on growing making us very proud of them all, .........and we are still in love, even though they said we were to young to marry and it wouldn't last!ViewDate:

Would you welcome a 'circuit-breaker'?Why did the government allow the universities to restart, it is since then we have the rates going ever higher.Young people are the ones now positive but it does not affect them much, but they are the ones transmitting the disease to others.Any fool would know, that you cannot stop these young people who are entering uni, to keep apart from each other it is obvious they soon started to mix and have parties....after all, they won't die of it. As they are now having there lessons via the internet surely they could have done this from home,how can total lockdown work, when half the nation does what it likes.....why not let life continue using masks taking care but not closing everything down, that way we could build herd immunity.So far despite all the rules and regulations have not seemed to work, the only thing it has done is put thousands of people out of work, and now worried to death about the future if these rules aren't relaxed, the economy ....well will it ever recover?ViewDate:

My Worry BagA trouble shared is a trouble halved, this poem describes me exactly, it is so true I hope many people read it and take heed of it.
