What was it like to grow up as a child in the years immediately after the Second World War in a small village in South Worcestershire?
 
This is an attempt to describe a childhood recollection of family, community and daily life in the last years before the advent of mains water and sanitation, electricity, freedom of choice resulting from war-time rationing, private vehicle ownership and world travel all became commonplace.
 
As a sequel to the book Wadborough: A Portrait of a Village in Worcestershire in the 1950s (also published by Aspect Design) it offers a description of a rural childhood up to the completion of primary school education.
