Happy Times

A Memory of Greenock.

My family and I lived in 27 Bruce Street, Greenock, up in the attic flat room and kitchen, there was Mum and Dad and my sisters. My dad worked as a train driver and used to drive his train along the nold track on Wellington Street, sometimes stopping at the old bothy to make his tea. Sometimes he would ask me to ride with him in the engine, it was fantastic, what lovely times. When you used to see the tracks cross and twist all over I was so proud of my dad, and felt that he must be the smartest dad in the world to be able to do this. We as a family did'nt have a lot of pssessions, we had what we needed and were happy. As the oldest daughter I felt safe and secure and very content with everything. My mum and dad have passed away now, my sisters have families of there own, but I'll never forget our happy times together and that I loved them so much. Daughter Maureen McKechnie.
