Honey Pot Cottage at Wraysbury
My aunt, Beryl Reid, moved into Honey Pot Cottage in Wraysbury in the late 1950s and we spent many happy days visiting her. The river was fascinating and there was a houseboat on the other side of the river that seemed to be there for years and years. She had a lovely curved stone seat at the bottom of the garden where I used to sit and let the water lap my feet and the ducks used to come up into the garden every day to be fed. As time went on Honey Pot Cottage because heavily populated with cats and they had the greatest time running up and down trees and hiding in the thatch. Unfortunately those days are long gone.

RE: RE: Honey Pot Cottage at Wraysbury
My dad was a postman in Wraysbury and used to deliver to Honey Pot Cottage. One Christmas I went with him on his round (must have been the late '50s) and when we got to Honey Pot Beryl came out and said in a very posh voice "Hello Harry" (not very "Marlene"!). I was thrilled that a "star" knew my dad's name.
