Davitee

A Memory of Hopeman.

Well,
Your uncle that made the lobster creels was a well known local man called David, he was know as Davitee, and yes his house was a large house where he lived and kept his lobsters in his bath when he caught them.
He was a great man, and a friend. His family are stll there, Jimmy Simmers, Ethel and Margret.
David (his posh name) would go out in all weather, and as a result was lost at sea on Christmas Day I think.
They just don't make people like him any more.
