A Trip to Kent and Life in Lymington - Spring 1986

I'm not entirely sure of the date of these, but they correspond to a time when Dave Lock was still at Plymouth Polytechnic (so around about the first year) and when Mother, Nosher and Sis "did a runner" from Ford Cottage to go and live in Lymington for a few months. The trip to Groombridge in Kent, to see Dave, was quite handy as it meant I could sneak away a bit early - I even remember having to pass my suitcase out of the lounge windows to Mother so soon-to-be-ex stepdad Andy wouldn't find out. When I came back after the weekend, it was to a small-ish new house on an estate on the edge of Lymington on a road called Harvester Way, where we lived for a few months (at least through a summer).
