The workforce
There was a large main house surrounded by four smaller houses - two on each side of the large house. My grandfather's father lived in one of the smaller houses and worked as a groundskeeper. He had a family of 3 children. Last edited: 30/03/2007 21:55 by Joanne Maitland |

The Quest
When my grandfather turned 16 he brought two fine horses onto a huge cruise boat and brought them to Canada to a buyer only to find out the buyer was not to be found and so he kept the two horses and sold them to another buyer and continued to stay in Canada through the rest of his life.

My First Visit
Was overwhelmed by open spaces,woodland, fields of pasture, arable, all seemingly laid out with such precision. Those responsible for management of the land appear to take so much care. Aberdeen Angus; Pheasants; variety of sheep, many types of bird including Buzzards swooping low over our heads. Thousands of wild foul, seeing fish clearly swimming in the river close by, where our daughter her husband and two children have only recently gone to live. Not forgetting that we played cricket in there substantial sized garden, on a lovely warm sunny day, in October. It is so peaceful, apart from the occasional farm vehicle, but what can you expect out in the countryside. What a beautifull shoreline, estuary and dunes for walks, especially when it is warmer. Small town of Ellon (close by) is most attractive, looking forward to our next visit in few weeks plus many more (despite 376 mile distance. Posted: 01/02/2008 16:44 by Philip Lofthouse |
