Our holidays
Barbara: Did you ever go away on holiday or always stay in the village?
YC: I used to go up my Aunts who lived in Paignton and holiday up there. And then my sister married a Wadebridge boy and he had a sister the same age as me and I used to go to Wadebridge for my holidays! Out at Sladesbridge. And she used to come out here.
JM: I used to go to Falmouth with Uncle Jo and Aunt Weezer cos I had Uncle Jack down there.
YC: It was always with relatives.
JM: It was an annual thing, once a year or something like that. I remember we went in, I wasn’t very old, we went in Woolworths there and I saw this handbag. This little bag, you know. Anyway, I had this bag, a brown one and she wrapped it and I said ‘Thank you very much. Uncle will pay for that and I walked out the shop!’
YC: He had no choice then!
JM: I can remember that exact, as though it was yesterday.
