Hele Street

This is the childhood home of Scotty Boy. Here is where he lived with his mother, father, two sisters and a monkey named Duncan.
This is the mango tree. Here Scotty Boy would sit up high in the branches, take a bite from an over ripe mango and then chuck it at his sisters. He's really sorry about that now. He can't believe all the mangos he wasted.
This is the ditch Scotty Boy played in. Here he played war, caught giant toads and even boogie boarded during stormy weather. By attaching a rope to the boogie board and then tying it to the mango tree, Scotty Boy was able to catch some waves as the rushing water flowed through the ditch and out to sea.
Now it is the home of Mama Duck and her babies. Aren't they cute?
Here is the elementary school Scotty Boy attended. Barefoot even. He didn't wear shoes to school until he was in the sixth grade.
And finally, here are the hills behind Scotty Boys' house that he and his friends set fire to. This is new news to Scotty Boys' dad. I'm glad Scotty Boy is now a man!
