To Set My Feet A-Dancing

‘To Set My Feet A-Dancing’ is a glimpse into childhood during the late 1950s/early 1960s. ‘The Baby Boomers’ were born into a Britain just beginning a fortuitous era. A war had been won, food rationing was ending, conscription into the armed forces would be abolished before they were of age, the National Health Service was invented and there was a new young Queen on the throne. Life was full of hope.
Times were simple and children could safely play in the street or stay in the park until dark. People were dependent on public transport because the car was not yet king.
This was the generation that would become teenagers in the Swinging Sixties and enjoy the coming of the age of “white-hot technology”.
This was a charmed generation.
