PAST LIFE

Today over to Manchester to collect a box of photos and family memorabilia.
Will i ever play the recorder again? Probably not. but I'm keeping it anyway along with tatttered exercise books and school reports. Were the 1960's another age? Seems that way, looking at the First Communion photos of 30-odd little girls in veils and white dresses. Most of whose names I can still remember. A far-off, innocent time.
Even my graduation photo is now 30 years old but I've hung it in the front room as a memento of times when university education did not put students in hock for the rest of their lives.
The Coalition's latest proposals for a graduate tax are nothing short of scandalous.They will mean fees will rocket through the roof.
