1 / 15 Rocket Man

I'd wanted a Rocket. It was a three-wheeled tricycle in blue. I'd seen it in Hamley's toy store and asked for it for Christmas. Come Christmas, I got some building blocks. They were nice, but I think I must have made a fuss about not getting the Rocket. Sometime afterward, I remember coming home from school, and in the middle of the garden was The Tractor. I can't imagine being satisfied with a tractor out of the box, but I know I grew to love it as it was my first vehicle. Forty years later, as an adult, you can see me pictured behind the one thing I wanted all along--a speedy racing trike! -- Chris Joyce
