Norfolk memories
School
My name was at that time, Annette Mothersole. I am the youngest daughter of Doris and Bert Mothersole. My two sisters are Yvonne Rushbrooke and Vivienne York. My dad was a farmer we lived on Poppyloy Farm. and went to school at Southery and till I was about 11 and then moved to Feltwell. My dad was a Capt. in the Southery Home Guard in WW11. I would love to know more about that unit and the men in it. After my dad was in a horrific accident he and my mother moved to a smaller house in Hockworld, but my dad always went to the Bell in Southery on Sat. to have a couple of drinks and to play dominoes and when I was home to see them i went with him. He loved that game!!
If you have any memories to share of the Home Guard, or my family I would love to hear them. Thank you. Easter Sunday 2010
Living in Feltwell
While my husband was stationed at RAF Lakenheath we moved to the Old Rectory in Feltwell. We lived there from late 1961 to May 1964. We met Mrs. Rose Nixon when our youngest daughter was born and she would come visit and help me with our two daughters. I remember the shopkeepers trying to help me make change, I really had trouble learning the British currency. I will always remember the time spent in Feltwell even though I can't remember all of the names of the people that I met. I would like to ask that if anyone in Feltwell has a recent photo of the Old Rectory to please send me a copy of it.
Old Rectory, Feltwell
I lived in the Old Rectory from the year I was born (1990) to 1993 and 1997 to 1999. It was a wonderful place to grow up, if a little spooky. We moved to Lakenheath shortly after.
Life in The Country
I was stationed in the USAF at RAF Lakenheath. I resided at Church View, Church Road with my wife, 3 daughters, and our 3 Shelties. My oldest daughter Cindy learned to ring bells at the church and was sweet on a local boy, Robert Pepper, who was killed early in life on a motorcycle. My den turned into a local gathering place for the teens in the village and I thoroughly enjoyed my tour, the people in the town and the wonderful view of the church from our front gardens. I will always cherish the memorys of the English countryside and the Fens.
Cindy And Family .... And The Lovely Robert
I remember you all living in the Ferguson's house ... Cindy brought us candy from the base and we would all congregate on the playing field. Robert was such a lovely guy - I still keep a picture of him in my kitchen, and have a t-shirt that he wrote on - it was such a loss when he died ... His sister Le'anne is still around, his brother Reuben still lives in Hilgay - and named his son after Robert. His brother Frank lives in Southery. It's nice that you still remember him, I will tell Le'anne when I see her, she will be pleased. Hope you are all well.
Living in Hilgay
Hi, My father was in the airforce and we stayed at Hilgay for about 12 months.. I don`t remember much about the stay but I remember we lived next door to Dents, it was a transport company, I also remember going to school, and I have some photos somewhere of a sports day at the school..Sorry I can`t help with more memories.
I now live in Western Australia and happened to find this site while looking around places I have been to.. If I do find th Pics I will send them to you..
All the best.. Peter..
Stocks Hill
Hi, we have bought a property 75 yards from Ali Dent's the butcher, a little red-brick house in 'The Yard' belonging to a Mr Howlett. I wonder if you remember the cottage? If you're interested I can send you some pictures of the cottage and the area, we find it lovely and rent the cottage to holiday-makers. Have you any pictures?
Regards, Shelagh.
