Growing Up

A Memory of Haskayne.

Growing up in Haskayne was the best time of my life, friends made were friends for life, Life was slower than now but oh so better,
One of the endearing memories of Haskayne is of the PEAR TREE WALL, about five feet tall, with several pear trees on the other side, a place I met my friends on numerous occasions,
My uncle Joe standing on the corner of School Lane and Riding Lane listening to his radio, great days, all the children knew and liked uncle Joe, this over all the time he was there, many years.
Outside of Sephtons Farm there is a large stone, one I sat on many times for a rest on my way home from school, across the road from my grandparents' home,
The fields and woods across the moss just outside Haskayne village will stay in my memory for ever, great places for children of the day to play, next to the Cheshire lines, after the trains stopped running.
Thank you Haskayne for my childhood,
