My name is Mike Pull,
my Dad was Les Pull, a butcher.
His shop was at the end of the
High Street in good old Heacham. I now
live in Holland. We call it here
"Nederland" - that means the low
countries. You would write it in English "The
Netherlands". Holland - it's very much like
the area around Spalding. In fact, lots
of Dutch tulip farmers live in
the area. Still I don't have to tell you
that. That's history. I
left Heacham in 1978,
to make a new life for myself, like
lots of us did, and it worked out very
good. At first it was not that easy,
then after a few years, it started to get
better. The people here are so kind, very
much the same as people in North Norfolk, so I started to feel
at home. I am still
working as a cabinet maker, but will
soon hang up my gloves. Then
I can get down to playing my sport - 'golf'.
I will never forget Heacham , and I always
come over to see my family, at least three
times a year.
