About the Book:

I want to cast your mind back to a rather distant Swinging Sixties to give you a feel for the atmosphere of that era. The Beatles led the way in music, Carnaby Street a world leader in fashion, black and white television, phone booths with penny slots. The main objective was to grab any work such as gardening, cleaning cars, tidying up the church, hay-making, sticking up skittle pins, as long as they could up to Friday, then they would go to a seaside resort and have fun and a meal as a treat for themselves.

It was their form of escapism though the village was picturesque with the old church halfway up the hill and surrounding woods, orchards and fields, they would feel trapped in this mundane life. They would cancel out frustration by getting together in a hayrick, which was hard to find on a wet day, playing cards, consuming smuggled cider and food an adult had bought at the village stores. I hope this is an insight to those angels with dirty faces.

Excerpt from the Book:

 "Wookey took control. The last thing he wanted was the fire engine trying to get them!! The other lads felt that the cider was affecting them but realised they had to be careful. They said they would be back by 11.00 p.m. but as it approached ten they were beginning to miss their home comforts. They were getting very jittery, seeing odd movements in the bushes as the wind was getting up. Their bravery lasted a bit longer due to finishing the cider, but they thought they had best make headway for home. One of the lads, Rookie, wanted to hang on a bit longer as he had secretly put some chestnuts in the fire to roast. Several more minutes later passed when there was an almighty BANG. Lots of ash was sent flying into the air; they wiped their eyes and looked stunned. Rookie noticed a big red circle in the top pockets of Wookey's coat. He didn't realise that a burning ember had landed in his top pocket!! It looked like a red sun!! Rookie kept very quiet after this incidence!! They covered over the ashes with earth and stones and were on their way home weary and contented."
