Holidays: A memory of Diss

Holidays

A Memory of Diss.

I can remember coming into Diss station (1953 onwards) as if it was yesterday. I and my family came up from West Ewell, Surrey to stay with my aunt and uncle at Redgrave every year for our school summer holiday. My cousins and my sister Julie and I were taken to Diss every week, but on two of these occasions we were taken to the pictures which was a great joy to us all, on the way home we would have a big bag of chips each. I came up to Diss in 2009 and new super markets have taken over the loveliest little town. They say you shouldn't go back don't they, but my family originate from Wortham, so you can't stop it calling to you, can you. My mother's maiden name is Jolly.
