Childhood Visit

In 1953, while we were staying in a caravan park at Felixstowe in the summer holidays, just to the landward side of the level crossing, we went to Harwich and visited David Wills baker's shop as David Wills was my mother's half uncle. Incidentally we had stayed in a caravan the previous year too at Felixstowe, and what I remember especially was that the flower beds which had been full of flowers in 1952 were bare in 1953 as the salt from the flood had killed all the flowers.
