What ever happened to a nice grilled rainbow trout on the menu? You never see it today

During Covid lock down 2020 when we couldn’t go anywhere I would do a Saturday night “not going out dare night”. Each “date” had a different theme, Italian, French, American diner, etc. Re created Berni Inn and served prawn cocktail, sirloin steak and chips and English Sherry trifle for...

We had great family gatherings with all of the cousins resulting from the family of Thomas and Providence. I was born in 1947, third child of Rosetta and Colin (Price). Sadly all aunts and uncles are now deceased.

When I was a young girl I used to babysit for the landlord and landlady, John & Muriel Skinner, their little daughter Lesley. I just recall bare boards a bit rough. I’d sometimes make cheese and onion sandwiches for bar food! Probably 1961-‘62
