5 – Were you shy or sociable when you were very little?

This is a difficult question to answer. To be shy is to be nervous or timid in the company of other people. Before I could walk, my parents and I had moved to a new house in Burpham.

The house was in the first phase of what turned into a large housing estate over the following ten years. All the children in the neighbouring houses were all much older than me. So as I never went to play school and just played with my sister, I really did not know what it was like to be in the company of other people.
