title Bracken Way, Walkford, Dorset - 15th September 1986 intro It's the transition from Harvester Way in Lymington - a house rented after the great escape from Ford Cottage, which included sneaking suitcases out of the lounge window and going down to Tunbridge Wells in Kent to stay with Polytechnic mate Dave Lock for a few days - and Bracken Way in Walkford. By this time Nosher had moved out anyway, so none of it really mattered, but Bracken Way was Mother and Mike's first place, and when they bought it it was still very much in its original 1960s set up, with a 60s kitchen and heavy wallpaper everywhere. Nosher would crash in the attic room, apart from the one night after having met former step-dad Andy Campbell in the Plough at Tiptoe, drinking too much with Sean, all going back to Andy's flat in Highcliffe for a take-away curry and drinking whisky or something, before staggering back to Bracken Way to sleep on the bathroom floor for the night. That would have gone down well if it had been discovered. Later on, Nosher and Hamish arrange to wake up at about 4am to head into the New Forest with a hope of getting a photo like the postcards - all morning dew, mist and ponies, but instead we end up in a pine plantation on a dull grey morning. scan2020-02-21-0018 The lounge doubles up as a bedroom scan2020-02-21-0019 More grim wallpaper is stripped scan2020-02-21-0020 A stack of empty boxes leads back to the kitchen scan2020-02-21-0021 Built-in furniture, 60s or 70s style scan2020-02-21-0003 The classic kitsch of a 60s or 70s kitchen scan2020-02-21-0005 Classic 1970s tiles and bathroom scan2020-02-21-0006 Mike strips off wallpaper in the lounge scan2020-02-21-0015 The attic room scan2020-02-21-0016 The other side of the attic room scan2020-02-21-0014 The almost-stepladder to the attic room scan2020-02-21-0004 An amazingly-preserved 60s/70s kitchen scan2020-02-21-0002 Phil ponders something scan-120312-0023 Hamish's dog Geordie looks all sad scan-120312-0016 The back of Bracken Way scan-120312-0005 The little conservatory at Bracken Way scan-120312-0004 A tuft of foliage on a tall pine tree scan-120312-0011 A stack of straight pine trees
