Mr and Mrs Slaymaker

My dad used to have a stall in the Market Hall in Wolverton selling groceries. I remember going with him in the van on Fridays and on the way back we would  call into to visit old family friends who lived in Cosgrove ' the slaymakers'. Not sure exactly where they lived but seem to think it was on a corner in the village and remember a yellow stone wall and a lovely garden. I was fascinated to learn that he grew something called logan berries, which looked like big raspberries and tasted good anyway! Don't think that they had any family, I never met any children at their home. Cosgrove was a quiet pretty little village and as I have never visited in over 40 years it will stay that way in my memory!
