About this recording
Alison Gunn, nee Rosie grew up in Pulteneytown.
In this short interview, she shares some of her memories of special places that she visited growing up.
She describes family visits to the Trinkie, “We used to go there in the summertime, the weather was always good.”
She recalls Sunday afternoon visits to Ackergill harbour. Alison explains that on sunny Sunday afternoons the whole family, including both grannies, piled into two cars and set off to visit Ackergill Harbour. While the grannies had tea and a ‘fine blether’ the children played in the sea and on the beach.
Alison also recalls playing in the boat, the ‘Girl Lydia’. which was moored in the harbour. She says, “For some reason, we always thought it was my dad’s boat.”
