An Open Book

A complete diary of one man who was born in London 1936. Memories of wartime England, bombing across London, and being evacuated to the country. Then as a young man growing up with all the consequent fumbles of puberty. The author joined the British National Service, and was posted to Egypt at the time the Suez Canal was blocked. Back home in UK he became a school teacher, and married. The young couple migrated to New Zealand, the green fields, and brought up two children there while teaching in a rural school. Mike writes in an honest fashion about more recently becoming widowed, and then searching for a new partner. Details of rural life in New Zealand are amusing and informative.
