117- Auntie Phyllis, uncle Ted & auntie Joan

quoted by Robert Houston "I went to Uncle Ted's bungalow on the Wirral a few times.  Once I went there on my bike.  I got a bit mixed up at the Queensferry roundabout and had to ask a policeman the way.  No Sat Navs them days...I didn't even have a map. :) Just follow the road signs.  I had just bought one of those mileage counters that fitted on the wheel.  So I just went out one day to put some miles on it.  Before I knew it I was almost in Chester so I just kept going and ended up at Uncle Teds.  :)   The place was Heswall on the River Dee.  To call it a bungalow would be kind.  :)  It had no running water and the inside walls were as thin as paper.  They used to keep a big barrel in the kitchen with water in it.  I was about 12 or13 then.  In 1961, when I was 12, I rode across the Runcorn-Widness bridge on my bike.   I was going to go on opening day but Dad told me to wait a few days because he thought there would be lots of cars racing across and he thought I might get run over on my bike."
