Wonderful Times Spent With my Grandparents
My mother and her family are from Stiffkey. I was christened in the Stiffkey church in September of 1965. My grandparents lived at Camping Hill and I was always visiting them. I have lovely memories of their beautiful garden and allotment, and the many walks down to the marsh to swim in the tide pools and collect the heather. My beloved grandparents passed away in 1987, but I still visit from time to time (it's not that easy as I now live in California). Stiffkey is a beautiful village and I treasure all my lovely memories.
