Earliest memories of visiting my nan were the trek involved, was about 3 at the time. She used to live in the old railway tenements called Folkestone Gardens along from New Cross. A park now stands where they used to be, called..... Folkestone Gardens :laugh:

 

I quickly learned to dread visiting because she used to grab me, sit me on her knee and start bouncing me up and down whilst singing what would nowadays be deemed racist, but in 1957 it wasn't, The 10 Little N****r Boys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfNdwFwV6Ao This seemed never ending, after which I would be force fed a bowl of fatty neck of lamb stew, which had probably been on the go for a week and contained no meat whatsoever, only bones, pearl barley, potatoes and carrots :laugh: Come to think of it, all those tenement blocks smelled of the fatty stew concoction.. :bad:

Needless to say, I didn't enjoy those visits much..

Only scared of her when she got her wooden spoon out. Used to beat me with it as I ran past her into the house. :laugh:

Just for the hell of it, or ................................ ? ;)

No, when she thought I deserved it. Couldn't sit in the garden all day could I? and when I went in it was past a torrent of spoon lashes. :laugh:
