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).

Me neither Margaret except for a day trip to Chester Zoo accompanied by the nuns from Paddock House ( There was a religious exhibition being held at the zoo!!) As usual I got into trouble because an elephant ate the belt of my school mack and the nuns banished me to the zoo entrance until the coach arrived.
