April 1963, at the end of a very cold winter, I was the first person to move into Spinney Drive ,No 1 ,just built by Rattee and Kett , purchased by my parents for about £6,000. Subsequently they moved to Church Street, Little Shelford , then Selwyn Close and The Peacocks ,Gt Shelford.

13th May 1966 saw my 21st birthday bash at the Great Shelford School Hall.

​

My family and local friends were well entertained by ‘Jokers Wild‘ ( £25 I recall ) arranged by my friend Ceredig Davies who was at College with one David Gilmour. We had a great party!

​

In those days I played rugby on the rec with Shelford Rugby Club, changing at the Peacock pub, opposite the old vicarage, and on Boxing Day a free for all mixed hockey match on the rec.

​

Happy days.
