I remember Kevin and I were playing with his red pedal car when we were asked if we would like our photo taken. We had to pretend it was snow but it smelled really bad.
I loved living on the fire station, all the neighbours knew each other – we were in and out of each other’s houses.

Oh my word! Mum had a copy of this but it was misplaced many years ago. This was taken 45 years ago. I remember the foam smelled awful. Thank you so much
