Memories of a Brother

Created by Helen 12 years ago
I remember when Eric took me to Aldershot in his Bubble car. Going along the Farnborough Road at about 20mph and taking me on the back of his vespar scooter, of course we were mods in those days! He loved his car and scooter and I think he was the only brother in the family who had one. Eric also used to chase after Madge and myself, (like brothers do to sisters) so we had to escape fast. We ran out of Mum's gate, slamming it behind us. Eric was going so fast that he couldn't stop. He went straight over the gate and hung upside down, blood rushing to his head making him go bright red. We laughed so much and what made matters worse was that his mates were outside laughing with us. We didn't come in then until Dad came home from work. He always laughed with us about that. Eric was a big part of my life when growing up, he was the big brother we looked up to with pride. Merle xx
