Houseboat Holiday
A Memory of Hemingford Grey.
I spent three holidays from 1954 to 1956 on houseboats rented from the Giddins family who owned the boathouse
The only access to the boats was by punt which was always paddled not poled
The main pastime was fishing with nice perch and chub caught
I remember talking to a professional eel catcher with traps by the bailey bridge in a part of the river known as the frying pan
Very Happy memories rekindled by a walk along the river this week (28 Oct 2015
