I remember friend Alan Croft from Harrogate arriving for an
impromptu visit while the remainder of his family coped with
the death of his uncle Norman who had been a TT racing motor
cyclist and was killed in the Isle of Man.

Picture of Motorcycle Ace Geoff Duke at the I.O.M. TT races
in 1955 the year Norman Croft was killed.

Cousins Dennis and Giles were frequent visitors on breaks
from their boarding school while their parents, father’s sister
Peggy and husband Dennis were working overseas.
