The outdoor pool.......................

Spending all day at the pool/beach when I was a kid.

Would go in the sea, run along to the pool, jump in the shallow end ( cos you were getting a bit cold by this time ) and bliss, it was like being in a sauna. mmmmm

Hurrying home to get a quick bite to eat then back down to pool, pulling soaking wet costume back on again. Yeuch!!!

Also remember having midnight bathing/galas, team games, i.e. diving for tins of fruit.

Those were the days................ great times.

Happy Holiday Times

My childhood holidays were spent each year at Lower Largo from 1952 until 1960.
Mum, Dad and I lodged with a family called Robertson where we had a room and meals cooked for us by Mrs Robertson.  Every year the same families from all over came to Lower Largo at the same time so we always had lots of friends to meet each year again!
Our journey from Edinburgh was on the train over the Forth Bridge which seemed the most exciting thing to do and if we stayed for more than two weeks my father would catch the train in Station Road - travel to Edinburgh and then return to us each day after work.
Many happy days were ...read more here
