AS a lad, John Phillpott (Evening News, December 20), my Boxing Day consisted of an eagerly awaited trip, on push bikes, with my two younger sisters and parents, to my grandparents' house in Sedgeberrow, where my Auntie Edie and Uncle Harold also lived.

I particularly remember riding round and round the paths on a red pedal-car each year.
