Christmas 1981, cant really Remember too much about it, but what I can remember was we were Looking forward to moving into the New House!
As I said in Previous Post, during the Christmas Period we had a walk round to the New House, to look through the Window, we saw a nice Fireplace and what looked like a Gas Fire, we could’nt wait!
It was’nt until February 1982, that we Finally got the Keys to our New House, after about 2 Years of Living in a Flat, that was pretty cramped as it had only 2 Bedrooms, and we had 2 Kids!
I cant remember How we Moved or who Helped us, Move in, but the First Thing I Remember upon getting in the Front Room of the House, the Fireplace was Gone, along with the Gas Fire!!!!!
What a Disaster we were Really Looking forward to that Gas Fire heating the Downstairs up, all that was left was the Mains Gas Pipe, ready to have a New Fire Attached to it!
I found out Later, anything left by the Previous Tenants was Ripped Out for Safety Reasons, by the Local Council, this kind of thing is Common place Today, what with Health and Safety, but back 30 Years ago was Really Stupid, Annoying and Cost us Money!
The Area we moved to was’nt that Bad back in the Early 80’s, but lets say I’m Glad we dont live there now, although I am not Ashamed of where we lived , its all part of Growing up and Life!
Although Susan Hates the Area, and to this Day she never Talks about it or Passes the Old House,and its only about 10 Minutes from where we Live Now, but its a World away, in some aspects!
On the Music Front in Early ’82, was the Debut Album from D-Train “You’re The One For Me”, he had already had the Title Track Released as the first Single release, and it was a Hit, both sides of the Atlantic!
Another Great Track on the Album, was D-Train’s Version of “Walk On By”
D-Train were a Duo, comprising of James “D Train” Williams and Hubet Eaves. They only ever Released a further 2 Albums!
