My Mixed Up Childhood

A Memory of Clydebank.

Holly Street....my mixed up childhood. My parents had been married before, so when I arrived, I already had four brothers. Malcolm, Robert, John and Brian. My gran and granpa stayed opposite our house at 1Holly street, and it was decided that John stayed with them. We later moved into 23 Holly Street but for some reason, John continued to stay with my grandparents and I eventually thought of him as a cousin. It wasn't until I was an adult myself that I realised he was my half brother..We lost touch many years ago and I was reading through comments and noticed one from John MacDougall, of 1 Holly Street, His neighbours were the Ewings . I was born in 1954, and also went to Kilbowie Primary. Miss Temple was also my teacher, and the Headmaster was Mr MacDonald. I remember gran had a dog called Bonnie the boxer, and Auntie Lil had a dog called Spot... the dogs had lovely pups.. A lifetime of memories gone by now.
