Around May of 1987, things for us were going Alright after our Move to Norwich, we had got the Kids, Nathan and Natalie into a Local School, which was about 10 mins Walk to.
If I remember correctly Susan used to walk them to School and I used to pick them up after, or was it vice-versa, I used to pick them up in the Van!
I can only remember one of our Neighbour's, that was "Bill" he was a "Laugh", he was about 65 years old and His stand out thing was He had a "Great Big Hooter" it was all Red and Blue, but He was a Nice Bloke, more than I can say for all the other Morons who lived around that area!
I also Recall "Bill" was a bit of a "Boozer" to say the least, one particular incident happened, one Afternoon, he came Home from the "Pub" and was Speaking to us, near our Front Wall, which was about 3 feet High, all of a Sudden He Fell Head first over the wall into our Garden!
That was Hilarious, but "Bill" smashed all his Face on the Wall and Ground, He had Scrapes Bruises and Blood all over the Place!
He (Bill) was Probably the only thing we Missed when we Left the House and Area in the Coming Weeks!
By this time, I was going out Every day trying to Sell my Stock, I had in the Mobile -Shop, I had particular places I went to, and things were not too bad, I can remember Taking "Nathan" on several Occasions, he used to like Ringing the Bell, when we arrived!
We always came back to Great Yarmouth on a Saturday, my Mother and Sister, always had a few items of Groceries from the Van, being Nice I suppose!
Another thing, I recall about Norwich, we had 2 Black Labradors then "Sally and Ben" and we use to take them for a Walk about 10 mins from our House, there was another Bloke, who was always on there & He had a Bull Terrier Dog!
That was one Helluva Ugly Dog, but the Best thing about it was His Name, it was Called " Basta*d" you could always hear Him calling his Dog, all over the Park!
I said things were going alright for us in Norwich, but that was soon to Change, I will post next time about that!
Now for some Music, One of The Best Funk Bands of the 70's was "The Bar-Kays" in 1976 they Released the Album "Too Hot To Stop" on the Mercury Record Label.
It contained One of my Favorite Funk Tracks of All-Time "Shake Your Rump To The Funk" it also had a Great B-Side, which I played as much as the A-side "Summer Of Our Love"
They were 2 Great Tracks, I still have the Single in my Loft, and of course the Album on CD.
"Shake Your Rump To The Funk" Reached Number 23 on the US Pop Chart and Number 5 on the R&B Charts.
