Living With Nanny A memory of Selling, Kent 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, now I never drink anything else. My saddest moment was in November 1955 when we all piled into the removal van, to go and live in Stoke on Trent. It might have been the moon, I didn't want to go. That was where dad lived and I didn't like him much, and it was so far away from Selling and nanny. I can still picture it, and eating nanny's cooking. I am married now and a nanny myself, but I can't cook food like nanny did, her brawn was superb. Oh I loved Selling, it was heaven, being there with nanny. My name in those days was Pam Smytheman, and my mum was Joan. Looking back at old photos, I was skinny, ginger haired. But oh how I loved my nanny and Selling.

Picking Fruit! A memory of Selling, Kent 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. Last edited: 26/11/2006 21:42 by Bozhana Spasova |

 Perry Wood, the 'Rose and Crown' 1903 (ref: 51041) |
Year: 1967
A Very Fine Pub A memory of Perry Wood, Kent 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!! Last edited: 02/09/2008 15:01 by Nev Bishop |

Living In Yorkletts A memory of Yorkletts, Kent 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.

 Chilham, the Church 1903 (ref: 50347) |
Year: 1966
Don't Get Caught! A memory of Chilham, Kent The Rev Lawson caught three of us smoking in the graveyard here, he then said he would tell my dad unless we all swept up the leaves around the main church door, which we all did. My dad was the local copper then, and a clout round the ear I would have got!! Last edited: 02/09/2008 15:02 by Nev Bishop |
