Golden Days
A Memory of Mossband Ho.
I lived in Mossband and went to Gretna Township School, later known as Gretna High. Times were hard but we enjoed our time there and kept ourselves occupied potato picking in Rockliffe and Todhills, rose hip collecting, and I remember the troops going to the Suez was a sad time. We had lots of friends in Gretna and Mossband. I went back few year ago, everything gone. Gretna is the same except for the shopping mall, the air up there was refreshing and we had very bad winters but we coped. I remember in front of the grate having our wash in the tub. I always think of great times there and would love to hear from anyone, there was Sam Wallace, David Franklin, John Crozier, Armstrongs, Hulme, Pearsons etc and Borthwick, maybe some of you remember me. And we used to love to watch the troops, Pioneers versus RAOC in football. We were rationed in them days but were healthy and not idle, our dad used to go down Solway Firth to collect wood to keep us warm and we went with him. I remember a ram on the loose called Mary but we were happy. I was top of class in maths, good at RE, English and geography and history but useless at art.I would be so happy if anyone remembers the Daughertys from Mossband C.A.D, we lived in the depot. Thank you and I hope to hear some info soon.
