The real simple happiness of those relatively innocent days comes through beautifully in that account Terry - and that's not "rose tinted glasses" by any means. I can think of many a similar wandering myself, and even more so when I was young in Ilkley in the 1940s/1950s. The only drugs were aspirins - and only if essential - and older folk in particular could come and go without fear at all hours. I'm afraid things in general are going down the drain and its really good to look back upon happier times.
