I hope you enjoyed reading about my escapades at school all those years ago, and if they brought back any memories of your own, I very much hope they were pleasant ones!
If you have any comments, suggestions or feedback - or if you're an ex-pupil like me - I'd love to hear from you:
drop me a line at donnyb@btinternet.com. Thanks!

Then.....
Born in Hornchurch (Essex), I went to Corsham County Primary School (Wiltshire) and Minden Row Junior School (Hong Kong) before becoming a pupil at Leamington College for Boys in 1959.
Probably the earliest photographic record of me as a schoolboy! Obviously a posed shot, which was taken I think in 1955/56.
Corsham County Primary School
I was then in the Infants' Class aged seven.
On a trip out to Repulse Bay, Hong Kong Island Captured on camera here with a slightly quizzical expression.

The photo was taken in July 1958: I was aged nine.
Mugshot photo taken for a Centro Travelcard: October 2008 Hmmm....I seem to have changed quite a bit!
And now.....

Here I am fifty years later!
