Nostalgia Holidays

I decided today I would tell you a little about my childhood holidays.
I was very fortunate as a child as my parents took us on holiday every year.
When we were very young we went to Mablethorpe and Trusthorpe on the east coast in Lincolnshire. It wasn't very far away from where we lived in Derbyshire. We went with Nana and Granddad, Auntie Eileen and Uncle Stan and I suspect Grandad paid for the holidays as I don't think dad earned much in those days.

It was very sad because they never had children of their own.

unfortunately I've no idea where it is.

 

Later, when we went up to Carlisle to a better job for my dad and as nana and granddad got older we went on holiday just with mum and dad.

As dad worked in Horticulture the summer was extremely busy for him so our holidays were always at Whit week. We went away without fail and usually to the South coast. 

The weather always seemed to be good then.

 

 

 

We went to Folkstone, where mum came from.

 

I remember travelling on the Romney, Hythe and Dimchurch railway

 

And this one was at a caravan somewhere near Chichester
