Blast from the past

I was given some memorabilia today by my sister. It had been found while she sorted out boxes at our home we lived in as children.

I couldn’t believe it was still in the house. There was a newspaper cuttings which had to be from the late 70’s and a membership card to the “official David Essex fan club”.
I was in love with David Essex in the 1970’s, as were many other teenage girls, and was so much in love that I joined the club which made me feel a bit closer to him. He had the most beautiful blue eyes and that dirty cockney look, like a gypsy, which mesmorized me.
I had all his albums at one time which have since gone. I also have an annual somewhere which was from the 70’s. I had it bad :)

The Bay City Rollers were my favourite band back then and I was in love with Woody. I was so in love with him that my sister, Wendy, had made me a white jumper with a big red"W" on the front which was very similar to the one he wore. Of course I had to have trousers to go with it so armed with a pair of scissors, needle and cotton, a white bed sheet and my mother’s tartan skirt, I set about making them, all hand sewn I might add and I was so impressed that I wore them to someones wedding. Don’t know who it was getting married but I sat at the back in my gear and must have looked a right fool! AAhhh those were the days ……
