My Memories of Ferryside
I'm only fourteen but still I have some amazing memories of Ferryside, generations of my family have lived here and i'm planning never to leave. Me and my mam, we're looking through all the pictures and everything seemed so simple, I wish it was still like that, I like the look of how things were back then and I really do wish everything stayed the same. Especially the cafe and square, if you ask me there are way too many tourists down here these days acting as if they own the place! Ahah, my grandma's mother and father owned Broadlay House years and years ago, obviously it's completely diffrent now, except for the bakery and garage at the back which the new owners don't look after! The house used to be beautiful, I've seen pictures but the newest owners knocked it down and re-built it into just another house, I don't know why! Ferryside is a beautiful place to live, I love the fact that it's very peaceful. I know some people around my age who think there all cool and all by wrecking and vandalising some parts of the village, I get so annoyed. If they lived in a rough city or town they'd wish they could live in a place like Ferryside! The White Lion ia a legendary pub I say, my grandparents Marie Price and Chris Price used to run it. Lately I've been thinking about writting to the council about getting something for the kids so they won't wreck this gorgeous village anymore - please comment if you have any ideas!

RE: RE: My Memories of Ferryside
I have wonderful memoiries of Ferryside when I lived in the village in 1956. I was sad to read your comments, when I lived there I started a dancing session in the cafe [which was by the railway line] with some friends. We would meet there almost every night. We had birthday celebrations etc there. Also in the village hall we had dances at Christmas and New Year. Along with my friend Morren Marks we would attend first aid classes which proved useful when we rescued a little girl who had got caught in the deep waters while playing on the beach. Perhaps you could start something like that again or maybe a drama class. It only takes one to start these things and then other people join in. I hope this has given you some ideas. I have left a memory of my time at Ferryside perhaps you would like to read it and pass on your comments. All the best, Audrey
