Memories Are Made Of This
A Memory of Seasalter.
Seasalter - A place name from the past for 2 reasons.
No.1 - in the 1960s my paternal grandmother and grandfather had retired from Tooting, Sarf London to Bapchild, Sittingbourne and had acquired a beach hut close by the boating lake. Dad could only afford summer holidays for me, mum and sister by staying with his mum and dad and driving down to the beach hut each day. Yes, winkles from the sea boiled and eaten in said beach hut !! God, the tide did used to go out miles !!
No.2 - Just slightly west, The Battery. A place where my Boys Brigade troop from Mitcham would decamp in summer. Dormitories and jam sandwiches for tea. Searching the mud flats at low tide for spent bullets of which there were many. I think it was a place where we were supposed to find God - and I can distinctly remember I did for a few days until I got back to Mitcham ...
