Born in October 1951. My family were then living in one of the prefabs on
Warwick Drive. Moved into 52 Kenilworth Drive when I was approx two years
old. Lived on the ranch until March 1967 when we moved to Barnoldswick.There
were quite a few of us - in order: Jimmy, Marjorie, Eileen, Carmel, Me and
Helen. Helen is 13 years my junior and was born at home .We had a dog
Beauty, a small black crossbreed and later we acquired a more unusual breed -
a Basenji. An extremely elegant, regal looking creature that didn't bark, who
answered to the name of 'Mick'. He was totally unmanageable and was
responsible, I think, for putting Les Ranson off dogs for life - when, one day,
Mick rushed out and bit poor Les on the backside whilst he was running past
our gate. (Sorry Les!) Actually I apologised for this many years later when we
both lived down Gisburn Road, Barnoldswick.Married to Doug Boyd we have
two grown up sons, Matthew and Thomas, and live in Barnoldswick. We also
have a dog Hollie the collie! Employed by Rolls-Royce plc as a
secretary/administrator. Hobbies: Art, travel (love Italy), walking, literature.Read
