Chris Hartshorne


(1967-

BBHS 1979

The following paragraph came to light on Facebook. It seems to have been written in response to a request from a facebook friend to write something about a particular year. Chris, who is a Technical Architect now living in Chesterfield, says this of 1979:

I was 11 or 12, the year I got to go on a school trip round the Baltic – Lübeck Germany, Copenhagen Denmark, Helsinki Finland, and Leningrad in Russia. Life changing two weeks, last year of primary school, learned to smoke, still loved learning maths and plate tectonics (georgraphy), had 3 months at Bell Baxter before my folks up sticks and move to Galashiels in the borders and I became a foreigner again. Probably 79 was my favourite year ever, and it all went downhill after that. A year of innocence, a good paper round (9 papers round the whole village took an hour on my bike) 2000AD was the best comic in the world, I had the best friends, Bob Dhanjal, Calum Ross, Jamie Cran, Adrian Barrett and Myles Payne. The kids in my class were all wonderful people with so much in front of them, the world at their feet. We all hated our teacher for all the wrong reasons. The summer lasted for ever. That is truly a year I'd repeat over.
