Down Town Shopping With My Mum Aunt Edie
A Memory of Littlehampton.
I remember shopping with my mum & aunt every Saturday. When we were finished with the shopping we would visit a little cafe right next door to Woolworths. After I had drank my bottle of Tizer, I was allowed to go in Woolworths & look all around while Mum and Aunt Edie had their tea. Then we walked back home to Wick through the allotments where my Uncle Harry Jacobs had a garden, which used to keep the families in fresh vegetables all the time. Our house was at Malthouse Cottages & Aunt Edie and Uncle Harry lived at number 10 North Street just a short walk from us. When I returned for a visit in 1980 with my husband and son, we went to Malthouse Lane to see my old house but time had taken the houses away and all that was left was the front door step, which Mum used to whiten every day on her hands and knees. I wish I could have brought it back to the States with me, but that was obviously not possible but I do wish now that I had broken a piece off, for it was a precious memory of my dear mother, I can still hear her saying "Don't step on the front step yet, it's not dry".
Lovely Memories, Wonderful Mother.
