Ian Anderson, a long-term resident of Borrowash, is in many ways, typical of the famous baby boomer generation born between 1946 -1964 whose members include Bill Clinton, David Bowie and Tony Blair. Baby Boomers were characterised by their capacity to work and play hard whilst making money and enjoying it, in contrast to their parents who had endured wartime austerity and led lifestyles in the shadow of rationing and ‘making ends meet.’

We were delighted to hear in March from one of our “Lifers” Brian Day whose story appears in “A Green Thought – Brian Day“. It was Brian who told us that another of our subjects, his long standing friend Walter Grenier, had died in late 2015. Brian has been in contact with Walter’s wife Anita and also updates us on another sad loss …. and new arrival in the Day household!
