 The penultimate episode!

This stuff was all about the Queen's silver jubilee in 1977, so not quite fifty years ago...

That's me inside the fire engine...

A quick Google search informed me that the distance between where I grew up and the town we went to in Cornwall is in fact 212 miles. Still quite a way, but a lot less than my 7 years old exagerated '808' miles. I remember the dog, it was a small brown terrier type dog and was there again the following year. We went to Cornwall a lot in the 70s and early 80s as my grandparents had retired there.
