Recordist's notes

Recorded in my back garden in Malvern but dedicated to this spot. This was outside the prefab I lived in as a child and where I played in the road with my pals. 70 years ago and hardly any cars meant ball games could be enjoyed and siting on the kerb with feet in the gutter was a pleasure. Once I rode down Rifle Range Road on my bike turned right into Avon Road hit the kerb and sailed clean across the footpath into our garden fence which bounced me safely to a stop.
