About the Book

This most enjoyable Memoir was written from the heart. It encompasses the author's life from birth until retirement to sunny Spain at the age of 73. Born in 1928, during difficult times in the East End of London, to a hard-working mother but fickle father, both Jewish, Eric soon learned `to fit in´. With his naturally cheery nature, he made the most of some awkward situations, none more so than the Second World War arriving in 1939. Evacuation with his two sisters, and separation, followed. Eric enjoyed learning, and overcame the efforts of a nasty bully teacher to browbeat him. Quick to learn, he was always second top in class (losing the favoured spot to his first sweetheart...) With no guidance - no careers offices then - and no father to steer him the right way, he worked hard in various positions until the King's Army claimed him for two years. Invaluable experience of being abroad in a broken and demoralised Germany and Vienna followed. Read and smile about Eric's many adventures while in khaki...of his demobilisation, his japes with friends back in the UK, and of his meeting with the love of his life: his wife Joy. Becoming a father three times over, he enjoyed a role his father never did and experienced much happiness seeing his three sons grow and flourish; and during his long and happy marriage.
About the Author: Eric Sydney (note the Y) Lennick was born on 6th July 1928, during difficult times in the East End of London, to Jewish parents - hard-working mother, Ginny, but fickle father, Jack). His naturally cheery nature helped him make the most of some awkward situations, none more so than in 1939 with the arrival of the Second World War, leading to evacuation with his two sisters. Eager to learn, Eric overcame the effects of a nasty bullying teacher to be second top in class (losing the favoured spot to his first sweetheart). With no father to steer him in the right direction, he worked hard in various positions until the King´s Army claimed him for two years. He gained invaluable experience living abroad in a broken and demoralised Germany and Vienna. After meeting the love of his life, Joy, there followed many happy years of marriage and fatherhood. Having travelled extensively over the years, Eric and Joy finally settled in southern Spain, and now enjoy retirement in Playa Flamenca, Orihuela Costa.
