Many
years later, a blond, tanned healthy 12-year old plays on the trampoline at
Anglesea during a wonderful summer holidays with memories of butterscotch Regal
icecream and fun in the sanddunes.
As a young boy, Mark was very interested in books, and here is a very early
photo of him reading a book that is still in his possession. He is at the house
of Danny and Roger Day (his godmother), where there was a bird-bath that fascinated
him.
This was a love-affair that was to end in tragedy – the gun fell apart
and could not be put back together (I have no idea why not!), which for me was
heartbreaking. It was the sexiest thing I had ever seen!
As you can see from this photo, mothers cannot be trusted with the dressing
of their children. This effort should have been punished. The poor children
don't even know how daggy they look! It was the 60's, though...
