Daily Doodle - November 6, 2011

Last month, my cousin sent me some photos of my dad as a little boy. Up until then, I'd never seen any photos of him as a youngster. It got me wondering what he was like when he was little. Was he a bruiser? Was he shy and sensitive? What did he like to do? I've read stories about little boys playing on bomb sites. Did he do that? Lots of questions, no answers. So in order to try and understand him a little better, I've started to read about life in 1950s England, the period in which he grew up.
