We discussed a camp photo that included Les Parkin (now Bowie) earlier this year. He was in Stanley with his mother and he's now created an excellent website which tells some of that story in prose and verse: http://childsplayintheshadowofthesun.weebly.com/

There's a wonderful evocation of swimming in Tweed Bay, but to me the most powerful part is the description of a 'dream of closure' that his mother, who had a particularly tragic time, experienced shortly before she died of brain cancer: http://childsplayintheshadowofthesun.weebly.com/xx-aftermath.html
