I was born at Hope just after the war and had an idyllic childhood. Early memories are of the Regatta, the visits from the Salcombe Lifeboat, the scout party raising funds for the Lynton Lynmouth disaster, the coronation village celebration and going up on Bolt Tail to look for the Britannia passing by, the Christmas parties at Galmpton Village Hall, the annual coach trips to the pantomime in Plymouth and to ...see more
My parents owned and ran a guest house... Fair Tides... just up from Mousehole Beach, a stone's throw from the sea. I lived here until 1965.... not long enough as I wanted to stay here until I died I loved it so much. The years I spent growing up in and around Hope Cove are a priceless memory which I have carried with me throughout my life. These memories have inspired me and delighted me when nothing else would.
I lived in the coastguard station from about 1952 to 1955. I spent alot of time sitting on the sea wall in the summer. I worked for a time at Greystones Guest house. I met my future husband in Hope Cove, he lived in a house that his father built called Homelea next to the Grand view hotel. About 1955 I moved to Bolt Head,Coastguard Station and went to work in the post office at Malborough.
