Meanwhile, on a lighter note, we were still battling with the rats as they continued to invade the house. One day, I went into the kitchen and opened my mum’s desk drawer to find one all snuggled up inside! My, did I scream! Not sure who was more scared – me or the rat! Another day I saw one scurry off down the Chapel Hall and into the Library – I really hoped a visitor didn’t see it! In an attempt to kill them off my dad poured rat poison down the holes in the floorboards in the kitchen and our lounge. Within a couple of weeks we knew they were dead – because of the awful smell! So even when we didn’t...

A similar truncheon to the one used on my dad

Kev and the band were also getting a few gigs around the area and after singing with them for a little while I gave it up and let a more professional singer take over – I needed to work on my confidence first!
