living with nanny

I remember well living with my nanny in Neames Forstell, she was Rose Beake, a formidable lady, but oh how I loved her. I remember going to Selling school, and if it rained or snowed being brought home in the police car by Sargeant Onions. I remember going to play "up round the ring", going to find uncle Harold and aunty Edie, oh so many memories. I was happiest staying with nanny, going to play in the garden of the Sondes Arms, feeding the chickens, except when the cockerel bit me, well I did poke my finger through the wire. I never wanted to go home, I loved it at nanny's, even when aunty Dot tried to make me try coffee, ...read more here

Picking fruit!

It was the summer of 2006 and it was the greatest summer for me, my life is not the same boring life. I want only one thing .... I want to return in England, one of the greatest countries in the world.

A very fine pub

A very fine pub, that's if you can find it, in the middle of nowhere, deep inside Perry Wood. It's worth looking for. This used to be the Perry Wood winkle club in the 1960s and 1970s, where you would get your winkle out of your pocket before another club member did, the loser would have to get the drinks in first! No joke,  the landlord in the years I first went there was known as Mad John who collected sailors' hats which were displayed around the 2 bars. I sometimes sat in his garage repairing his daughter's motorcycle with the odd drink to keep me going!!

living in yorkletts

having lived in the village for most of my childhood I have lots of memories both good and bad things like having a close community spirit where all the children were known and we were always safe, but then there was useless transport in the village. Though my family home is no longer there I had nearly an acre of land plus lots of woodland to play in. They were fun times.  Summertime was always fun when there were about 7 of us who would spend all day out and about from early morning to it got dark and the only time we went to a persons house was for food or a drink.
