Summer Holidays At Ye Old Tuck Shop

A Memory of Lucton.

My mother was the daughter of Mrs Price and along with my father and my sister we would go for our summer holidays for 2 weeks and stay with my Grandfather and Grandmother in the little cottage. The Tuck shop was mainly for the boys from Lucton public school. We had some wonderful holidays there in the late 50's and 60's. I too remember going up to the spring for the drinking water and down to the brook for the washing water. We would play in the field surrounding the cottage and also play and sometimes help out at Reeces farm which was just at the bottom of the lane. I would also go to the little church in the village where my sister would play some music on the organ whilst I was pumping the bellows. I could go on and on about the wonderful idyllic times we had.
