Berwickshire memories
Holidays at Spittal
I used to come every year as my mother came from Spittal, and stayed with my granny and grandad. I love Spittal and still come a lot, I have many memories, can't count them all.
Happy Days
Born in Paxton in 1948, I have many happy memories as a child in the country. I never tired of messing about in the local rivers, the Whiteadder and the Tweed. Best described as messing about because at times I didn't catch very much. Prior to leaving the area to work on Tyneside I worked at week- ends and school holidays at Maxwell's saw mill - that was an education. My ties with Paxton were severed circa 1990 when my mother left to take up residence in Yeovil. On behalf of Macmillan I am making a pilgrimage by cycling from Paxton to Tynemouth in August. My route will take me over the "Chain Bridge" - fantastic!! I would appreciate hearing from anyone else who has memories of Paxton.
Nicking Apples Half Way Down Brae

Glasgow Terrace
I am Jim Windram and I'm a Gelsgie Terrace Sparray frae Haymoothe. One could only be a sparrow from the terrace if you were born there, as I was in 1946. Chapel Terrace as it was officially known, was once owned by Peter Gibb, a fish curer for Glasgow.
Glesgie Terrace was off Chapel Street, where Salt Greens nursing home is now, and I reached it by going up the side of Giacopazzis.

Railed gangways ran along the front of all the houses, with a dividing rail in the middle, which everyone used to climb over. There were 6 houses on each floor, 3 to the left, and 3 to the right. At the top of the building was a large garret,( loft), where all the fishermen would mend their nets.
Behind the building were lines for washing, washed in water heated by open... Read more
'I Lived There!'
My family lived at Horndean Bank from just before the Second World War until the late 1960s. My immediate family moved there in 1952 after the death of my fraternal grandmother. The total population when I left in 1966 was 18, of which 6 were from my family. We lived on a very small smallholding, for a time rearing pigs. There were also cows, hens, geese and turkeys etc. It was, by todays standards, idyllic! Days never to be forgotten; never to be repeated.
