Dairies from the past

I’ve always kept a diary of sorts.

I cleared the garage out yesterday and found a bag of my old diaries. I’ve always know I still had them but it didn’t occur to me that they might make interesting reading. The oldest (I think) was from 1967 and I would have become 16 that year. Betony, my stepdaughter is 16 now – but as my dairy (obviously) starts in January, we’re probably looking at similar times in our lives – she leaves school this summer – I left in 1967.

My idea is that (hopefully and eventually) I will go through all the diaries over time and begin to write them up here. As time passes it may be that they are commented on and stories/notes etc are expanded upon, but for now it is just a simple what I did, when I did it and what I put into my diary!
