Murrayville just south-east of Langley BC a time and place to come into ones own especially if you are eight years old. A time to see just how high you can get on the school yard swings. Real swings, thick leather straps for a seat and half inch links for the chain. You could chimney up the links and touch the metal cross bar, what a feat and performed every chance the little solder would get. Swing so high. Pump it Pump it higher and higher. Watch out the swing would feel as if, when at the top, you would come straight down and not in that perfect arch. Out of control on the edge higher and higher all day long if know one was around. The big kids would make sure that you would drop like a rock. Swing at a different rhythm and see what happens. Out of control on that giant of a sing set out behind the school building just above the ravine bank that runs outback.
