Happy Thoughts Of Bay

A Memory of Robin Hood's Bay.

I believe I am the girl sitting on the grass looking towards the sea in this photograph. My name then was Susan Groves and my dad was a fisherman. We owned a shop down the bank called The Shell Shop where dad sold many things including crabs and lobsters. He made me a boat which I used to row him out to his cobble to empty his crab pots or collect urchins. I loved Bay as a child and have many happy memories. It is truly a wonderful place and even though I left age fourteen I still return as often as possible and think of it as home.
