hi harry, our toilet was outside but it was not a dry one.  it was bad going out at night because it was round the back of the house among trees and when the wind was blowing your imagination went into overdrive.

Moorsy, I just love these poems.  Val brought this thread to my attention.  I enjoyed reading it from start to finish.  Loved the poems and enjoyed the conversation between other members.  It's a great wee thread, pity to leave it buried among the others.  I understand you're very busy, but you must have a collection somewhere that you've written over the years.  Can you share some more with us? I'd love to read them.

Moorsy, have really enjoyed reading your poems, what memories they bring back, whether you lived on the Falls or Shankill, we were all in the 'same boat'  But happy memories.
You are so talented, keep them coming
Look forward to reading more

 Thanks for all your comments folks, much appreciated.

 When you leave a place where you were brought up and dont see it again for a long time, 40 years in my case, your memories dont change.
 They stay in a time warp, of the way things were,of the friends you had. The years I remember are from the 50s and 60s ,the growing up years mostly for me,and so the thread is set then.
