The tree-house at the back of Cameron’s Bakery was the HQ of our gang, our boy’s club.
By invitation only.
Money saved, club pocket-knives purchased (stored at HQ beyond inquisitive parental gaze).
Comrades in arms, swashbuckling adventurers.
In a secret place.
Under a secret oath.
Blood brothers.
All for one …
Note:
* Treehouse – an imaginative – even romantic view – of a few planks of wood and an access rope.
