The pigeon holes
If you’d like to dig deeper into this random collection of rants, reflections and recollections, the “pigeon holes” below will help you browse stuff by year (eg 1931-35, when Dad was working on farms) and also by theme or category (eg coal mining, travel, India or Queensberry). ~ Ian
