Loads to See...
All my father's side of the family
originate for many generations from this village. That's it there on the
right. My grandfather,
grandmother and my great grandfather were born and lived in the row of
cottages, "Charleston", top left. My father also lived there as a boy and now it was my
turn. The cottage and hut bottom right was a shop in the summer and it too
sold ice cream but you had to pay for it this time.
My over riding memory of my time there was the outside toilet. All the cottages had one and each night the man of the house, undercover of darkness would dig a hole and empty the contents of the kludge as it was known into it. Oh and we got water from a tank fed from a stream and one day when no water came out of the taps we went to see what the problem was. The blockage turned out to be a dead and decaying deer. Not long after that we moved again.
