The story, set in North Staffordshire, follows the life of a young man returning to civilian life from national service, attempting to pick up the threads of his former years and wrestling with mixed emotions generated by the suddenness of change, lifestyle and environment. It describes his induction into a job and the foundation of a career that spanned more than forty years.
It describes the difficulties of adjusting to a new environment, the meeting of his wife and their life together. It tracks his life from the happiness of courtship, the difficulties and struggles of early married life and parenting to one of satisfaction and fulfillment.
From the authors perspective, it illustrates the organizational, technical and business changes he experienced at the English Electric Company at Stafford over more than four decades with a frank, light hearted and sometimes humorous approach.
It is a sensitive and frank portrayal of an ordinary life, similarly experienced by many people, but it is also a work of social and industrial history that helps bring back powerful memories.
The cover picture is called Our Potteries Heritage and is printed by kind permission of the eminent Staffordshire artist Sid Kirkham the Potteries Lowry.
