Village Boy at Heart Nicolas Westmore

This book by Nick Westmore is about his life's journey, written for his children, grandchildren, and generations to come. Now in his seventies, he has a mission to pass on his memories of a life lived in a time very different from today. Nick was born in the village of Rookley on the Isle of Wight and grew up in the neighbouring picturesque village of Godshill. He shares his earliest childhood memories, his family history, his schooling, early working life, and much more. He reveals the sad times but also sprinkles in many humorous anecdotes. Take for example the Godshill village show of the 1950s where you could win a pig at the skittles, or enter your prize-winning onions. Reading this book will transport you back to the life of a village boy, who grew up to travel the world, but whose roots remain firmly embedded in his beloved Isle of Wight.
