Boating With My Cousin

A Memory of Exmouth.

In the 1950's I lived in Exmouth and my cousin,Pauline, stayed with us in her summer holidays from boarding school. We are in this picture, in the boat nearest the side of the lake. I am facing the camera and I think I was eleven or twelve at the time. I remember it was extremely hard work turning the handles at the side to turn the paddle wheels.
My name was Josephine Rowsell and I attended the Grammar School from 1953-7.
