Still living with past memories and forever will.
Why so?
Because this is from whence I came and became, down the track.
Last worn late June, 1963. No scarf, no woggle, no lanyard. Just the shirt remains and I have no idea how I managed to hold onto it for so long. From age 6, a Cub Sea Scout and then into the Scouts for real. Almost 10 years of Scouting. About or perhaps two or three weeks later after departing my Troop, I was almost 3,000 klms. away from home. No Troop to assist me and wearing a real uniform. My future life had been already set, long before I even knew it. I’d do it all over again …. back then but not now, for boys are no longer allowed to be boys.
It is now all about the feminine movement, the LBTQUZXW Rainbow Brigade, the Lefties, the Greenies, the tree huggers, the PC Brigade and I will have absolutely nothing to do with them or their kind. Nor anything to do with their 'dumbing-down' of society.
If by chance you leave comment, please comment on my thoughts and not that of the photo. I am interested only on how you view the now new brave world in which we live. If it troubles you to do so, then you have my blessing an no ill-wind to sustain from commenting.
Thanks for the inspiration Daphne. It is appreciated because you jogged my memory and you are a diamond. xx
