Remember those times? The carefree afternoons playing football in the street? The box-cart races down the neighbourhood’s steepest hill?

“Read, read, got it, read”... remember the negotiations when swopping comics at the bioscope on Saturday mornings?

Someone once said: “Childhood is a collection of life’s most precious moments.”

Back in the 1950s, a school holiday fixture was to cycle from Johannesburg’s eastern suburbs to Jan Smuts Airport. I can’t recall ever making it, but we always tried. Any spare plank was the beginnings of a secret treehouse. Once a year, like Tom Sawyer, it was my job to paint our front picket fence.

So tell your offspring – children, grandchildren, great grandchildren – about them... in a book of your best memories. Tell them your stories while you can.

Remember those times? The carefree afternoons playing football in the street? The bicycle long-jumps over makeshift ramps? The box-cart races down the neighbourhood’s steepest hill?

In today’s fast-paced world, there’s seldom time to sit with family and tell them about your childhood, career or romances. There may come a time in their lives when they will want to know something of their family history; who you were and why you made the choices that may have changed their lives.

Preserve those stories.

I can make it really simple for you. I’ll capture your memories on tape, transcribe and edit them to your approval, and arrange layout and printing, all at an affordable fee. Books can be published these days in small numbers at limited cost, giving your loved ones the story of who you are and where you came from.
