All My Childhood Holidays
A Memory of Par.
As a 6 year old in 1954 we began holidaying in Par, staying with Mr and Mrs Batt at Par Green, next door to Brewers. For the next 10 years, often twice a year, we came back to stay with the Batts - a wonderful couple, so kind and loving, such wonderful food, three meals a day. Each day we would walk down to the beach, crossing the railway line. We soon discovered the lovely Booley beach, walking round on the cliff path. Once during the holiday we would drive to St Austell so my dad could get more money out of the bank and re-fuel the car for the journey home. So sad to come back and see the car park where their house once stood and Brewers is now a Co-op. Hamleys is no more -my brother and I used to save our pocket money to buy a new toy there when we were younger! Precious memories. And when Mr and Mrs Batt gave up the guest house my mum and dad stayed with Mrs Batt's cousin, Mrs Mitchell at Coombe Farm, above Fowey.
