[Margaret Pilkington]

Never went on any school trips, couldn't afford them.
I suppose my first trip outside Lancashire would be when I was about 4 years old......my grandparents took me to a guest house in Scarborough.......the only bits I really remember were.......a ride on the donkeys, paddling on the beach with my frock tucked in my knickers........and once running into the road without looking(nearly getting knocked down) and my grandad really shouting at me for being so daft.( I remember that bit the most - I can still see his red angry face if I close my eyes).
