I’ll be coming home
Just to be alone
Cause I know you’re not there
And I know that you don’t care
I can hardly wait to leave this place
No matter how hard I try
You’re never satisfied
This is not a home
I think I’m better off alone
You always disappear
Even when you’re here
This is not my home
I think I’m better off alone
Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, this house is not a home
By the time you come home
I’m already stoned
You turn off the TV
And you scream at me
I can hardly wait
Till you get off my case
No matter how hard I try
You’re never satisfied
This is not a home
I think I’m better off alone
You always disappear
Even when you’re here
This is not my home
I think I’m better off alone
Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, this house is not a home
I’m better off alone
No matter how hard I try
You’re never satisfied
This is not a home
I think I’m better off alone
You always disappear
Even when you’re here
This is not my home
I think I’m better off alone
Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, this house is not a home

One overcast March day back in 1974, when I worked at the Jane Hodge Holiday Home, we took the youngsters on a visit to the sand dunes at Merthyr Mawr, which is a vast area of natural dune and scrubland adjoining the Glamorgan heritage Coast. The kids had a whale of a time running up and down the dunes and riding on the sand sledges, for days afterwards we were still finding sand in their pockets, shoes and wellington boots.
The last in this set and Brian charges down the dune on a sand sledge whilst David waits his turn. OK, I've cheated here and added a sky, but it helps to balance the photo a little without that huge expanse of blankness.
From 1968 to 1974 I worked at the Jane Hodge Holiday Home at Trerhyngyll in the Vale of Glamorgan. The home was dedicated to providing short term "holidays" or respite care for disabled children of all abilities. Some of the youngsters were severely disabled, others not so, indeed sometimes it was hard to tell they had any form of disability at all. During my time at the home I took over 400 colour slide photographs and have about three times that number of black and white negatives as well as some 8mm ciné film. On another day we returned to the dunes where the youngsters played in the little stream which I have already shown you in another set.

This lost and forgotten Steam Locomotive has spent the last few years being pushed around. A few years ago it was moved 100 yards or so down the track and the tender was taken away. but the deal fell through and the locomotive did not follow. Recently the locomotive was carelessly pushed back up to it's original spot closer to the road and hidden by the trees.
In the mid to late 1970s I was employed as a Residential Social Worker at a long-stay children and young person home in a south London borough. During my stay there I took many hundreds of photos of the youngsters in my care and of the activities in which we were involved.
This is young 'SB', at the time he would have been 11 or 12 and you will notice that he has a parka coat which had become fashionable again after their well-known use by the Mods in the 1960s. He's also wearing typical 1970s very wide-legged jeans tucked into his wellies. He is posing with a cheesy grin against a cannon on the parapet of Walmer Castle. I like this photo, it shows a happy boy enjoying a memorable holiday. I'd just love to know what became of him and where he is now.
Very often a couple of members of staff would take the youngsters off for a few days out into the countryside or to the sea and it was on one such occasion that we were staying in Kent for a weekend during the autumn half term holiday.
Each youngster at the children's home had a key worker and this is one of the boys for whom I was responsible. It was my role to liaise with schools, social workers and other agencies and to look after personal needs, clothing purchases etc.
