I can't refuse to be the first at anything especialy if it comes to this, so here goes.

Merry Christmas

What a joy to see the stained glass window again.
Every childhood Christmas with my beloved mum & dad, my brother and I would enter the fancy dress competition in this very room. Also we eagerly awaited the arrival of Father Christmas, coming down the lift!!

So many families we met year after year, every Christmas, catered for by Jean Coleman and her husband.

Thanks to Mum and Dad for the most wonderful memories.

Christmas past

So many happy days with my & other families waiting for Chritmas to arrive as a child in the 1970s. Jean Coleman managing the Hotel, with her husband as head Chef.
I shall never forget the sound of all the proud father's (including my own) singing carols on Christmas morning before breakfast. Mums keeping their excited children in check. Waiting for Father Christmas to come down in the lift (!) after lunch. Panto on boxing day.
Meeting up with other families every year to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
Happy days.

Roby Mill school

I attended Roby Mill School. Miss Simm was my teacher. She caught the bus to the monument (Vicarage Corner), and walked down College Road picking pupils up along the way. It was almost 1 mile in distance, she did this twice a day every school day. Ash Wednesday, Good Friday etc we were expected to attend Upholland parish church (St Thomas's). Mrs Webster was the head teacher and lived a few doors away from us. Mary Wilkinson was my best friend but moved back to Liverpool.
