East Harling Cricket
I have spent a lot of my young child hood on the recreation ground with my father Christopher Patrick and his brother George, playing cricket for East Harling.
Memories of traveling on the crossbar seat of my dads bicycle with his cricket kit strapped on the back carrier. This was every sunday during the season, having tea in the pavillion . Mr Rudd, Mr Frost also played .
I also used to help put the numbers on the score board.
I also spent my early teens staying summer holidays with my aunt and uncle down fenn lane , Helping Audrey with milking her cows each morning and picking mushrooms from the meadow and her mother Mrs Hudson cooking them with a egg from the hens for breakfast.
What a innocent happy childhood we had in the 60s.
There was some lovely shops, Baker the Baker made lovely hot cross buns, also made my wedding cake, Palmers stores for groceries market store for sweets... Read more
Parkinsons Store
I have very fond memories of holidays spent with my Aunt Susan Parkinson and my cousins Jane and David Boggia and their daughters Mel and Bev. I helped out in the store one holiday and had my first romance with a lad from the village. We were always made very welcome. My dad used to live and work on Uncle Ben's farm and it was from there he joined the army. Dad's name was Bill Byatt.
I remember playing with the children from the village, we would walk to the little stream that ran under the bridge and paddle in the cold water, watching out for the very large Pike that was rumoured to live in the pond. I have not visited East Harling for many years now and I would love to know if it has changed much.
