A expose of life and growing up in an East Midlands town in the 1980's.....
After much work and deliberation,
my second book SHEPSHED MCMLXXX is launched as a website!
Although I was not born in "Sheppy" and don't live there anymore, I spent my formative years there growing up under the
shadow of Thatcher, Reagan, Brezhnev and Duran "bloody" Duran!

The site charts my time at school in Shepshed in the 1980's, St Botolph's Primary and then Shepshed High School.
I remember the pastimes and laughs we had, unlike the NERD generation of today, we had to get off our backsides and did
not have things such as Playstations, DS's and Wii's to amuse us.
I remember the music of the times, the fashions, the TV, major events and of course....THE GIRLS!

"Everywhere we go-oh.....people wanna know-oh.....who we ARE....We're from SHEPSHED! Mighty mighty SHEPSHED!..."
