Memories of The Square c1960, Eriswell
Childhood Memories!
Around about the time this pic was taken, I was 5 years old and my nan used to live in a house to the left of the picture. Her husband was head herdsman at Lord Ivor's dairy farm a little futher up the road. We (my brother, sister and me) used to visit often and I have such wonderful memories of playing around in the farm (no health and safety then!), watching my uncle bring the cows in for milking. I can still hear the sound of the cows in the milking barn and the noise when the pumps went on their udders. I can remember the house, The Lodge, and sitting in the garden on hot summer's days - Nan sitting in the sun and sending us down to the sweet shop for choc-ices. Lovely, happy memories!
Oh For The Simple Life!
Like my sister Jayne, I also remember many happy times at the Lodge and the farm. My brother, sister and I would spend hours looking for and playing with all the stray cats and kittens on the farm, sitting in warm barns on bales of hay. lovely! I can almost smell the warm summer farm smells when I think of it! Why were summers always long and hot when you were young?
We played with two girls of about our age, I was 7 then. I seem to remember they lived across the road and were twins. Sadly my memory is not what it should be and I can't recall their names.
