Shopping With my Nan And Other Fun Things
When I was a little girl, sometimes I used to stay with my nan in West Drayton on Church Road by the green, and while we went shopping around that quaint little village with about a dozen little stores, I also accompanied nan up to Station Road to the post office (ah, that wonderful post office, there it is on the left of the picture.)
I remember it was a lovely walk up Swan road. (I wonder why they called it Swan road? Is it because there were many swans further down in that little river by the Angler's Retreat?). I used to paddle in the little river across from "the Angler's Retreat" and under that cute little bridge with my brother Bryan and our little friend Barry. The water was so fresh and clear.
It somehow always seemed like a summer's day, is that the way it is when you're little? Always sunny?
Anyway those days were the fifties. Quiet and peaceful (especially after what people put up with in thsoe war years 1939-1945)
I've been back in 1980 and I enjoyed my memories once again, only my nan was missing.
