Most of the time she was there, right next to me. I didn't tell her about the one that was possibly a grizzly bear until the morning. Yeah, we've had bears walk by the tent. In my pre-Peg days I had one come by when I was sleeping under the stars.

I truly have a bear phobia. I can't do tenting in bear country...even the noise of lesser animals rustling in the dark after I've gone to bed often scare me.
If that grizzly had gotten her, you would now be living in post-Peg days.

Apart from my teddy bear (gone to the eternal salmon creeks long ago) I had a collection of rubber trolls, one big and four small, and I wouldn't sleep unless they were arranged in a very specific way beside my pillow - I guess I was a nerd already then

I had a medium size troll doll with yellowish orange hair that I loved around age ten. I combed its hair and made clothes for its strange little squarish shape.

My first memorable Christmas present was my bike.
The smell...the mechanics..the freedom.
So much that, without telling my parents, as a twelve year old, I got up one Saturday morning and started to pedal to Folkestone (about 230 milea) to see my family. When I was picked up by the Police in Basingstoke I had to spend a night in the Cells.
I made the news that night...my first big adventure.
Apart from that my parents were so poor that they couldn"t afford clothes for us.
Imagine our excitement when we were three that we had the present of a bobble hat and scarf so we could look out of the window

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]
