I remember the large ham and bacon slicer at the back of Newbury's and always worried that someone was going to slice their finger off when I was watching. When I was about 3 my mum was doing her shopping in Newbury's, with me in my pushchair with a cover over it. When we got outside she was mortified and had to go back into the shop and apoligise because apparently I had been doing some shopping of my own and helping myself to things and hiding them under the pushchair cover.
I stayed with a Mr & Mrs Freeman who lived at 'Westfield', Barnes Lane, Sarisbury Green during 1960, they had a son Christopher who died in a motorcycle accident in 1964. I would love to make contact with anyone who knew this family, I now live in Spain but will be visiting UK in July 2011.
