This book is a continued journey through the fog of my memory. As with book one "Norky's Ramblings" it includes stories, anecdotes and tales short and tall, from friends, family but mostly of my own. All stories are true, as far as memory and adequate research has allowed. Even the stories that may appear to be a tale taller than the ordinary are still true, mostly, no really they are honest. There is no start, middle or end to this book. The only chronological order that this book may have is that each chapter appears in the book in the order that they sprang into my mind. A topic would jump into my head and I would sit down at the keyboard and start writing before the memory drifted into the ether, but within just a few lines my train of thought would shoot off in an entirely different direction, a process which I still find fascinating, and of course why the books are a ramble.
Autorenporträt
Peter Norcliffe is a proud Yorkshireman, born on June 21st 1947, when the family lived at Scapegoat Hill a small farming village overlooking the Colne Valley to the west of Huddersfield. His parents Clifford and Mary Norcliffe were hard working textile workers, an industry that Peter himself took an apprenticeship in when he left school at 15 years old. Married at 19 to his childhood sweetheart Moira in 1966 they have one daughter Rachel. Peter has been keen to turn his hand to almost anything particularly if it involved a challenge, although approaching his late 70s everything is now a challenge and is proving to be just another test.He is happy to take comfort in a recent discovered quote, "Embrace old age, many are denied the privilege.
