Happy Days

I was born Elizabeth McNab in Druid House, Kames on the 27/3 /42. My parents, brother and sister and I went every year on holiday and stayed at the Old Smiddy in Millhouse. Mum's cousin Mary McTaggart ran the post office which is only a shell now but she would cook potatoes on an open fire for us, magic, the smell of wood smoke - there is nothing like it, oh the old days, I wish we could bring them back. Alas, I've only memories to pass on. II remember hot days at Ostell Bay, bitten by midges, ah, riding our bikes, going for walks up the woods with Uncle Malcom Currie. I went back 8 years ago on my 60th birthday and bumped into a long lost friend Catriona Cook. Everything had changed, the Old Smiddy, postoffice - MEMORIES?
