I can remember things getting tuff after my dad left the second time. I was at Green Howarth then and had to walk up there to the school most mornings from Miller Fold if the bus driver didn’t know who we where. Eventually my shoes started to go at the sole, just like in the old films…lol. I can remember my mum cutting up an old bike inner tube and sticking it to a piece of cardboard cut from a porridge oats box and slipping into my shoe. The sad thing was we ran out of inner tube just as the snow came……….
