Ponies Donkies And Roses Dont Mix!
A Memory of Hunstanton.
I worked with the ponies and donkies in the mid to late 1960s. Sometimes we would take them home to their field via Seagate Road, there would be about 4 or 5 of us riding ponies and the donkies would follow but quite often they would stop and chomp on people's flowers, especially roses. They would lean over the walls and tuck in, many a time someone would come out and shout at us. Sometimes if the tide was right we would be able to ride them back along the beach up to the slope where the boats go down to the water, that was great. My pony's name was Chummy. I can remember some of the names - Nibbs, Tony, Mary, Gerry the donkey, Inky and Jenny. I wonder if anyone has any old pics of them.
