Gayton Court

Here is where the family lived, number 42. I was at Edinburgh at the time, and would hitchhike down, on the A1. My sister Daphne and brother Bruce lived at home. Bruce was about 13 when he discovered fishing. He'd go down to the "Cut", coarse fishing, pike was his favourite. Once, he came home with a catch about two feet long, which we ate. Daphne was in the 6th form of a local girls' school. She acted in the summer play "As You Like it". I had my first romance here, in 1968, with Pat Over. I fell in love with her as we drove down from Edinburgh. She was going to a holiday job, planting tulip bulbs, in Wisbetch. One weekend we went to the town festival where Ernie Wise was the celebrity guest.
