Summer Holidays

A Memory of Windygates.

My granny lived in a bungalow along the Kennoway road. Every summer during the fifties was spent there. Fond memories are of walking down to the cross roads to buy fresh morning rolls and the Beano or Dandy. Later we would buy icecream cones from one of the icecream parlours, I think there were three.
We used to walk along the railway line (not the main line) and catch trout in the burn. One of the highlights of our holiday was to go to the links fairs at St. Andrews and Kirkaldy. There was a bench next to granny's house and old men with bonnets would sit and chat, to this day I think one of them was grandpa Broon! I'm nearly sixty but these memories of Windygates are still with me.
