ALWAYS REMEMBER TO SPREAD KINDNESS ABOUT YOU

This is an anonymous story collected from the public as part of THE WOKINGHAM ARC PROJECT.

I am a retired mechanical engineer who has lived in Wokingham since 1986. I was born in 1930 in Harrow and went to school there as well. I worked for De Havillard as an engineer for many years before joining Nestlé and worked in Switzerland. I have always drawn and painted and when I retired I joined Wokingham Theatre as part of the set building team.

The sound of leather on wood makes me remember all the cricket games I have taken part in at Hurst cricket club. I find changing a blank piece of paper into a painting utterly absorbing and always hope that others will appreciate it too!

Home, to me, means security, safety and the feeling of being loved.

My wish for the future of Wokingham is a greater human understanding and a great and human understanding amongst nations of the world. Always remember to spread kindness about you.
