I was looking out of my lounge window this morning and saw a Japanese cherry tree in full bloom in the garden of the bungalow oppersite,it reminded me of the tree on the parade ground at Goldings with its lovely fauna of pink flowers in early May just like now,and thought if I could only transport myself back to Goldings say for just one week at this time of the year in 1944, and see that tree once again in full bloom.
The swimming pool would have been cleaned out and refilled ready to reopen,and the seeds I had planted in march would have sprouted big enough to be planted into rows on my little plot of allotment,and the Masters who couldn't be bothered to plant seeds would ask me if they could have some of my plants for transplanting in their gardens, they would give me sixpence or a shilling depending on how many they took.
I would sell my produce during the summer months, and make a handsome profit, not bad for about six packets of seeds for tuppence a packet or should I say a deuce.

Friday May 2nd will be the 10th anniversary of the tragic death of a former Barnardo boy, Justin Fashanu. Justin was a proffesional footballer who made his name with Norwich City and became the first Million Pound black player when Brian Clough signed him for Nottingham Forest in 1980.
I had the pleasure of knowing Justin for a time during his Nottingham Forest playing days and found him a likeable guy.
Justin Fashanu was the first and only proffesional player in Britain to come out as gay and he paid a high price for doing so. His brother John ( also a former Barnardo boy ) made him an outcast and he was ridiculed by Brian Clough who called him a poof. Clough barred Justin from the training and even had the police stop him from entering the training ground.
Many people did not agree with clough's actions and despite my respect for Clough, I told him he was out of order.
Much has been said about Justin Fashanu in the media and the press but what ever you think, he did not deserve to be treated in this way.
Following sexual allegations, which turned out to be unfounded, Justin Fashanu committed suicide on May 2nd 1998.
