You Know,This Is Very Special To Me...............Here is a still from the 1965 dvd.
My Dad( I have few photos of him..."camera-shy") is pointing out to My Mum were he used to live as a child.Pre-War in Poland.
Mark was right.The quality IS improved via dvd.
So much stuff Id forgotten!Graffiti on Dutch Walls (the counter-culture was kicking in);Me riding a Polish horse!;Drunked Polish Family Reunions!Drives through Checkpoint_Charlie............my Dad's first trip home to see his dying Mum..he was on a Polish Passport..officially he had deserted the Polish Army (ie Russians).travelled to UK to fight with The Free-Polish Airforce (in Arnhem/"A Bridge Too Far" etc)He could have been arrested.The risk was real as we drove through the Iron-Curtain listening to AFTERMATH by THE ROLLING STONES......on the car cassette player.........
We drove across Europe to visit Graveyards&Hospitals.Aged 13,I got pissed for the first time on Polish Vodka.They lost me for two hours!I was found in the middle of a small river,talking to even smaller fishes......................................................! (to be continued!)
