If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

Is there anyone who can remember her?

I used to love coming to Halesworth such quaint village ..we got off from the train and wait inside little out cove of weighing scales for shelter from the rain. wait for nan to come and collect us. nan and granddad [ Ingate ] living on a farm up the top of the hill. we used to go help in the holiday time.
