This is me with my sister circa 1950, taken in our backgarden in Dagenham. I never knew then that the building in the top right of the image was to become my local pub and the land between that and our house was farmland (housing estate now) where the farmer allowed us to ride on the backs of his Shire Horses when they returned back from the fields. Lots of happy memories whilst growing up but little did we know whats lies ahead?

Resigned to the fact that I will have the urine extracted on this one, but publish and be damned, I say.
This should give you all a chuckle:
