A Trip To Westminster Cemetary
A Memory of Hanwell.
When you are about 4/5 years old everything is an adventure. Well a trip with my mum to Westminster cemetery was just that. We went after lunch and the BBC programme 'Listen with Mother'. We went to my grandad's grave who died before I was born. We walked along Deans Gardens from Studley Grange Road where we lived. Going into the cemetery there was a man in a box wearing a uniform. There were little three wheeler petrol trucks used by the gardeners. I later learned they were made by a company called LISTER. We arrived at the grave and my mum cut the grass. She had brought with her a little tin watering can for me, the big watering cans being too big for a child (probably from Woolworths in West Ealing). I filled the watering can from a nearby tap and watered the grave. We then returned home via Hanwell Broadway.
I remember going into Kingfoods and buying LIVERSAUSAGE. Kingfoods was next to Link Phographic opposite the Catholic Church. A little adventure for a little boy. It seemed so peaceful everywhere, but looking back that was probably due to the lack of traffic.
