My youngest contributor brings Memories to a natural conclusion.

I was born at Kettering General hospital on the 7th of March 1990. The first school that I went to was the infants and one of my earliest memories is of taking harvest produce round to the older people in Finedon. I remember my last day at the infant’s school was the same day that Mrs Charles retired.

I then went to the Mulso School and my first teacher was called Miss Mills. I really loved the large playground as I found that I had lots of space to run around and play kiss chase. I also like the fact that there was a large swimming pool on the site which can be used during the warmer months. It is good that we have lots of after school clubs including ocarina and an art club and there is also a football club but I am not keen on football. I like reading and writing. I have done cross stitch and I also like putting together plays and sometimes like to make up songs and we use the summer house at the bottom of the garden for this.

I live with my mother and father and I have a younger brother and his nickname is bug a lugs and he is six. He had an illness called tuberous sclerosis and he is lovely. He goes to school in Wellingborough called Rowan Gate Primary I like the close feeling I get living in Finedon with all my family and friends living nearby. I think that there are quite a few things to do in Finedon including brownies, guides, scouts and also Sunday school.

I would feel afraid to go past the Cricket Club or the recreational park by myself mainly because of the teenagers who hang around.
I think it is upsetting to see syringes lying around and this is mainly in the park and also near to where the Obelisk is.

It is upsetting to see how things can be neglected e.g. the ground outside the Quaker house and also the Obelisk. I do not like the graffiti and shattered glass down at the little park so will not go down there and there is also shattered glass etc up at the big park I would like to do something at home for work when I am older so I can help to look after my .little brother. I think that I might like to write or maybe design clothes.
