Berwickshire memories
'I Lived There!'
My family lived at Horndean Bank from just before the Second World War until the late 1960s. My immediate family moved there in 1952 after the death of my fraternal grandmother. The total population when I left in 1966 was 18, of which 6 were from my family. We lived on a very small smallholding, for a time rearing pigs. There were also cows, hens, geese and turkeys etc. It was, by todays standards, idyllic! Days never to be forgotten; never to be repeated.

Happy Days
Born in Paxton in 1948, I have many happy memories as a child in the country. I never tired of messing about in the local rivers, the Whiteadder and the Tweed. Best described as messing about because at times I didn't catch very much. Prior to leaving the area to work on Tyneside I worked at week- ends and school holidays at Maxwell's saw mill - that was an education. My ties with Paxton were severed circa 1990 when my mother left to take up residence in Yeovil. On behalf of Macmillan I am making a pilgrimage by cycling from Paxton to Tynemouth in August. My route will take me over the "Chain Bridge" - fantastic!! I would appreciate hearing from anyone else who has memories of Paxton.
Holidays at Spittal
I used to come every year as my mother came from Spittal, and stayed with my granny and grandad. I love Spittal and still come a lot, I have many memories, can't count them all.
Haggerston London
I lived in Samuel House, Haggerston in the 1960s.
Fastest Ferret Gets Guinness World Record
On 11 July 1999, At the North of England Ferret Racing Championships held in Blythe, Northumberland, UK, an Albino Ferret called 'WARHOL' owned by Jacqui Adams of CHIRNSIDE, Berwickshire, ran the 32ft Tube Race in a WORLD RECORD 12.59 seconds. It's now 2007 and the Record hasn't been beaten still. Warhol was nicknamed Berwickshire's White Lightening by the press. Sadly Warhol died in 2002.
Grandparents
My grandfather, Peter Brown, was born in Coldstream in 1875. His parents, John and Mary Ann Wallace lived in a cottage on the Hirsel estate. Peter was a joiner, as was John. Peter emigrated to New Zealand and was the first person to build a house up one of Wellington's hills. He was allowed to name the street and called it Lennel Road. I am interested in the Lennel Kirkyard in Coldstream, and wonder if John and Ann are buried there.
Nicking Apples Half Way Down Brae
Oh yes, loads of times me and me mates went apple pinching in the orchard half way down Brae.
