The outdoor pool.......................

Spending all day at the pool/beach when I was a kid.

Would go in the sea, run along to the pool, jump in the shallow end ( cos you were getting a bit cold by this time ) and bliss, it was like being in a sauna. mmmmm

Hurrying home to get a quick bite to eat then back down to pool, pulling soaking wet costume back on again. Yeuch!!!

Also remember having midnight bathing/galas, team games, i.e. diving for tins of fruit.

Those were the days................ great times.

School days

I lived in Mossgreen, Crossgates in the 60s. My first school was in Mossgreen, it had only 3 classrooms and 1 of the classes was taken by the headmaster Mr Suttie. Mr and Mrs Suttie lived in the headmaster's house next to the school and Mrs Suttie was a teacher at Crossgates Primary.

Hanging around in late 1980s

I have quite a few photos of the Lumphinnans Club 1 which was started to give youngsters something to do, this ran for a few years and we all had great fun on different places which we visited like Newcastle, Kenmore and ice skating. Everyone was involved in these activities, also hanging aroung Joe's shop at the corner and always being chased away, where we would move to the old brickie factory to see what hassle we could cause with Lochgelly at the farm road. Also memories and photos of Rougvies and the under 18 disco where I started to work Saturdays behind the bar when I became 18, and the ...read more here
