Year: 1979
Larkfield
I lived on Auchmead Rd from 1957-79 and now I live in the States. Life has not been bad, but there's never a day goes by, that I do not think of home. When we were weans, we used to have concerts in the backyard, singing, dancing anything to feel like a star. It's a shame children nowadays don't have that attitude. Summer nights we got to stay out till midnight, boy we thought we were something. We would walk to Inverkip just to go to the beach, a sandwich in hand, and we were gone all day, didn't need babysitters back then. I have been back home one time since I left, I was truly shocked at the difference, but still pleased at the places that had not changed that much, there definitely is no place like home. This year my son got me the Scottish Flag for Xmas. I never knew I had that many tears in my body, proud to be Scottish says it all. It has been wonderful just sitting here reminiscing and I thank you and your site for allowing me to do so. Good-night & God Bless. Last edited: 27/05/2008 09:50 by Isobel Malone |
