Description

This is a lively account of a young man living in Bristol during the so-called Swinging Sixties, progressing from a shy and awkward 16 year old to a gradual sexual awakening and an awareness of what girls are all about. The author reflects on his journey from innocence, and describes a variety of young ladies he met in this fine city, from his first love and then beyond. His girlfriends, which ranged from the virtuous to the not so virtuous, came from all corners of Bristol. This, coupled with his job taking him around the city, led to him discovering a variety of clubs, pubs and cinemas in the city, many now long gone. He describes his experiences with an open honesty and, more than once, suggests he might be giving away 'too much information'. He was one of many teenagers and young men living the dream during this memorable era and believes his memories will sound familiar to others who had the good fortune to be there.

Author Biography:

Chris Walker was born in Bristol in 1945, the day before VE Day. His mother once told him she was annoyed he arrived when he did. His birth led to her missing all the end-of-war celebrations in Bristol the following day, as, being the 1940s, she was certainly not going to be allowed out of the nursing home so soon. During the 1960s, he worked in various locations in and around Bristol and Avonmouth, developing an intimate knowledge of the city. Later on, his employment necessitated moving to Farnham, Surrey where he now lives but is a regular visitor to Bristol. He has a vision of one day moving back to the city he has always loved.
