awwwwwwww i could type more pages than you imagine for my times in Dorset. My parents i stayed at Holburn Caravan park when i was a kid. Then we had a place down there. After that they brought a static caravan and sold it earlier this year.

Castlepoint, Bournemouth, Pool, Burley, Ringwood, i've been to plus loads of others. I always remember seeing the Radio 1 Roadshows as well in Bournemouth. Also many summer seasons at the BIC.

I've been down Dorset every year and absolutely love it there.

hey, i was at the Holburn caravan site 2 weeks ago... my daughters love it there. we lit the candles in the park on the wednesday night, and went to the fireworks at the pier on friday... great traditional fun !! oh and bought lovely fudge in Burley

i was also in Salisbury that week... we stayed with friends that weekend in Gillingham and went to Salisbury and Shaftesbury.

i had a great holiday earlier in the year in New York... but i equally love good old Britain !!!

oh, and answer to the question, i live in Surrey

Yes ,it was opposite the church,I know where you mean now, and before that I was in the RAF ,not there but Brize Norton,I was an air stewardess on VC 10's

Hi again. I forgot to say earlier that I thought Swindon has a great shopping centre, but I hate those 5 little roundabouts just before you get there tho!! Will probably be up sometime before christmas.

Was it the new 5 Rivers pool you swam in?

LOL ,I remember the roundabouts ! they used to call them "The Magic Roundabouts"
I worked in a nightclub ,just by the main post office , it was called "The Affair " then but it might not even be there now

Hello again Goddess, sorry to go on but is there anyone you particularly remember from your time in the Crown?

Hi ,don't worry about "goin on " lol I love talkin about my old days
I can only remember a few ......there was an old man called Reg that used to live across the car park , we used to buy our pickled eggs off him and Roger lived next door to the pub (he died while we were there)
Then a few doors up there was a family and their daughter Samantha looked after my 2 kids

yeah its still called the magic roundabout ehhehe

I have to agree ! I don't like Swindon either ! I left 2 ex husbands there HaHa !!!

i spent a very short time of my life in swindon and i was too young to remeber any of it...

your'e lucky then ! but i have bad memories so I don't want to put any one off visiting !

i have to say that i love reading all of these posts - it really is a small world.. i would love to walk up 'hovis' hill, as i am just about remember the ad...gosh!
you have certainly had an interesting life, goddess!
i had a pub for about 6 months - in Henley... it wasn't mine though, i was working for a coimpany who bought and leased pubs and put managers in them..
i used to like the sociability of an old traditional pub, getting to know the customers by name, being able to set your watch by some of them!!
it was hard work though, eh?

i meant to say that i am just about old enough to remember the hovis ad...lol!

LOL ,yes Ive had an interesting life !!! I have often threatened to write a book but never quite got around to it .
maybe when i reach 60 (if) I will have a go
