No Bed for Me

NO BED FOR ME charts the roller coaster years of life in the 30s and 40s: a life influenced by psychological emotion, war, and a shattered childhood dream. But there were also times for humour, love, and understanding. The first twelve years of life were spent alternating between a family home dominated by an unemotional Mother and a home for children full of love and understanding. Four years in the regimented discipline of a boy's home, meant survival skills were quickly learnt. At the age of 16, and in lodgings, life at last became stable, and RAF service later provided the confidence needed to deal with the future.
