Early Years
I was born at Hope just after the war and had an idyllic childhood. Early memories are of the Regatta, the visits from the Salcombe Lifeboat, the scout party raising funds for the Lynton Lynmouth disaster, the coronation village celebration and going up on Bolt Tail to look for the Britannia passing by, the Christmas parties at Galmpton Village Hall, the annual coach trips to the pantomime in Plymouth and to Goodrington. Those are some of the whole village events but then there are many more memories of playing with the few children in the village in complete safety and freedom. A magical place to grow up which still gives me a buzz whenever I go back.
