I like this. It's very powerful writing, with clear images plucked from vague memories, presented as felt without any attempt to prettify or embellish.

Strangely, the mud is the most enduring detail recalled. And so honestly described, reawakening in us all that terrible but wonderful feeling of soft mud oozing between the toes. Perhaps this, indeed, is the very essence of childhood.

Altogether it's an astounding combination of conflicting sights, sounds and experiences, with no regard for sequence or chronologically correct time, just produced as though dredged from the depths for us right here and now. It's a piece that speaks in words of a time barely remembered and a performance of itself in the haunting beauty of its descriptions.

This is a wonderful piece of writing and I can find nothing wrong in it. What a high standard you have set for yourself to continue to achieve for us.
