Holidays From The Past

I have so many happy memories Of Nottingham. My parents would take me to visit an aunt & uncle there in the early 50s.  My aunt lived in Ratcliffe, my uncle had the Ratcliffe Golf Club and they lived on the premises. I was very friendly with their neighbours, and the one thing that really stuck in my mind was how beautiful Mr & Mrs Kettlebank's garden was, the array of flowers and the perfume from them was so beautiful. When my aunt & uncle left Ratcliffe they went to live in Hucknall and I remember staying with them on vacation and my Aunt Paddy taught me to do embrodery. Many happy memories too of visiting Sherwood Forest and Nottingham Castle.
