April Blast from the Past! I remember the corned beef of my childhood And the bread that was cut with a knife When children helped with the housework And the men went to work, not the wife The cheese never needed a fridge And the bread was crusty and hot The children were seldom unhappy And the wife was content with her lot I remember the milk from the bottle With the yummy cream on the top Our dinner came hot from the oven Not from a freezer or shop The kids were a lot more contented They didn’t need money for kicks Just a game with their friends in the road And sometimes the Saturday flicks I remember the slap on my bottom And the taste of soap if I swore Anorexia and diets weren’t heard of And we hadn’t much choice what we wore Do you think that bruised our ego Or our initiative was destroyed We ate what was put on the table And I think life was better enjoyed.

However, like so many other unbelievable aspects of the flash floods of 16 August 2004, that is just what happened. That crowds of residents and visitors gathered round the harbour on May Day to celebrate the village’s regeneration and the re-opening of nearly all the affected businesses, is testimony to the spirit and determination of the people of Boscastle. The Environment Agency was pleased to participate and to have been able to lend support to the event, which also marked the completion of our new culvert for the River Jordan and the other remedial work.
