Special Birthday Wishes (I) ...

[Arthur Little]

Oh to be back in my youth and know life's possible events of course
We were a cash poor family, but dad provided plenty of food by all sorts means I can remember me and my siblings fighting over who's turn it was to have the rabbits head (we loved eating the brains)
A big treat for me around my 10th or 11th was a first pair of long trousers

Yes, Mick ... since you and I are of the same vintage, I can relate to your memories of growing up in the austere *1950s.

Wasn't too keen on eating rabbit though ... , as *that, of course, happened to be the time of the myxomatosis scare.

And I also remember the excitement of getting my first pair of long trousers. Yet, strangely enough, I tend to grab the opportunity of wearing shorts whenever possible nowadays.

hope he had a splendid day.
Mick.

Thank you, Mick ... by all accounts he did.

This was all before I realised about myxomatosis , I got a right telling off from father for catching a wild rabbit and taking it home, it had myxomatosis, have not eaten one since either
