'Mum, did you catch fish in the pond at the Bridge' asked my son when Googling for ponds to fish. 0f course we did, with our home made nets of a piece of material attached to a stick, carrying home the sticklbacks and frogs spawn in a jam jar with its handle of string.
Reading the memories days later. Names were familiar, but as most where dated awhile ago, I didn't like to make contact ...see more
For those of you who read the memories. I would like you to join me in remembering my dear brother William Ernent Bedford who passed away Monday 2nd April 2012, aged 80. Those of you who knew him, I am sure will be saddened by the loss of a fine gentleman of an old Woodford Bridge family.
What memories I have of that lovely church and the drive up to it, lined with Horse Chestnut trees, in full bloom in the spring, and bearing all those beautiful conkers in the autumn. I was Christened at the church. My sisters married there, and both my parents are burried there. together with my eldest sister and her hushband, also my nephew. I haven't been back for years, but will never forget it.
