John Bright Grammar School sports day, circa 1959.

This is me, shortly after being disqualified in the 100 yards dash. I ran the wrong bloody way! ... well ... that starting pistol gave me a hell of a fright.

Llandudno is in North Wales. It's a beautiful Victorian resort. That's the Little Orme you can see in the background. My mother ran a boarding house there in Llandudno. She died in June 2007.
