| Synopsis: |
This second book of Norm's hilarious autobiography follows on from 'A Boy From Glasgow Street', which tells of his boyhood adventures growing up in the tough shipbuilding town of Barrow in the 1950's. He marries Pauline and becomes stepfather to her five children. They open a village shop and Norm leaves his trawling days behind. To make ends meet he takes a job working down the sewers, later becoming skipper of a pilot boat and survey vessel.They buy a remote cottage on the shores of the beautiful Duddon Estuary. After retiring early though ill health when his survey boats sinks Norm needs a hobby. A photograph of two of his grandchildren taken with a cheap camera outside the cottage changes his life.He wins a major photographic competition, which includes a luxury safari in Kenya. Norm meets a Lord who is also a famous author and they become good friends.Their nine grandchildren spend weekends and holidays at the cottage, midnight bonfires at the beach, and adventures in the pirate cave. Never a dull moment waking up to find the cottage flooded by the tide and having to rescue drowning sheep using their rowing boat.A book full of funny tales that will make you chuckle from start to finish. |
