Clinton News-Record, 1981-08-19, Page 14IESCIPTION INSCRIPTION PAGE 14 -THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19,1981 From Varna Penpals bridge the ocean's gap By Mary Chessell Kate and Jim Keys, Kate's sister Elizabeth andher husband Jim Bell flew to England on July 24 where they enjoyed two weeks of travel in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. One highlight of the trip for Kate was a visit with her penpal of 35 years, . Mrs. Marjorie Lambeth, and her husband John and family who live in Dunstable, north of London. Canadian sta They frequently stayed in homes with bed and break- fast reakfast accommodation, and enjoyed seeing the beautiful antique furnishings many of then. contained One farm where they stayed in Ireland had a herd of 50 Friesian oows, so they were out to the barn for the morning minting. They used a milking parlor system which was of . `ashioned by ds. There A dream come true are few upright silos, but a lot of green haylage was fed from pit silos, and cows were generally fatter than here. They saw milk being delivered door to door in the villages, with customers filling their own containers from a "churn". There is a milk marketing board. 'Ireland is, a land of little change. The only area where they saw farmers using large machinery on big farms was in southern England. There was an excellent wheat crop being harvested There are a lot of dairy and sheep farms. In London there are 60,000 taxis, all individually owned, and nearly all black Bentley diesels. It was common to see a dozen at a time in a one -block area. They motored 2,700 miles in the two weeks, so they saw a lot of interesting country. People report Bob and Margaret Reid, Charles and Bernice Reid and Mrs. Belle Reid spent last week with Bill and Mary at their cottage north of Sault Ste. Marie. The folks of Goshen community welcome the return of Bill and Sharon Carnochan and family to this a from Oakwood near They are living in binson house. indsaa the John Ivan McCiymont tours Britain by Mary Chessell A lifelong dream came true for me as we boarded our plane at -Toronto for a four week trip to Scotland and England. We left Toronto at 7:30 p.m. and arrived at Gatwick six and one-half hours later at 7:00 a.m. British time. We spent four days in London visiting the usual tourist places such as St. Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, douses of Parliament, and many of the famous streets and squares. One morning we went out to . the Battersea district to see the former home of G. A. Henty, the famous writer. We were able to see the personal copies of his books that were presented to' the Battersea library . on his death, and had lunch in The Cornet of Horse, a pub named afterone of his books. We then picked up our rented car and for 24 days toured England and Scotland. We drove down to Doverr to see the famous White Cliffs and then . to Battle Abbey near Hastings to see the site of the Battle of Hastings which took place in 1066 between the Normans and Saxons. The Abbey is supposed to be built on the spot where King Harold was killed by a Norman arrow. In looking . over the peaceful green fields with the sheep grazing, it was hard to imagine the great battle taking place that changed the history of the English speaking world. On across the south of England to Salisbury and the Cathedral there. We also visited Stonehenge and marvelled at the huge stones arranged by the ancient people. We visited Doreen and Craig Douglas and girls in Somerset. Doreen spent three years in London; Ont. in the late 1960s and knows quite a number of people in this area. We found the west country of Devon and Cor- nwall with its hedges, stone walls, small fields and narrow roads and streets quite interesting. The small towns and villages close up shop at one in the afternoon and everybody disappears ;,until about 2:30 p.m. when the town comesback to life. We crossed the Severn Bridge into Wales near Bristol after spending a night on a sheep and cattle farm where the farmer also had salmon fishing rights on the river. They drove poles into the riverbed and arranged a trap system that he had to check twice a day at low tide. The season lasts about two months. We toured Wales and visited Hay -on -Wye, the town of secondhand book shops, but the town is so well known that I found nothing for my collection. We spent a very pleasant evening with Mr. and Mrs. Roy Henty at Cheltenham. Roy is secretary of the Henty Society and a founding member, and while not a descendant, is of the same family as the author. He has a very fine collection of Henty's books. The next day we visited Oxford and spent a day in the Coronation village of Long Crendan, a very picturesque place with many beam and plaster oottages with that- ched roofs. Two houses were in the process of being rethatched, but as we were there on Saturday and Sunday we missed seeing thele work at it. We stayed with Pat and Clive Durant whom we had never met, but I had traded books with Clive by mail and we had their son visit us last summer. We then drove over to the east of England through Norfolk and up to Lin- colnshire. This was the best farmland we saw in lirltatn. Level land with large fields without walls and hedges. Sugar beets, winter barley and potatoes seemed to be the main crops here. We crossed the Humber River on the new suspension bridge, the longest in the world, that was officially opened a couple of days later by the Queen. We found the old walled city of York interesting but overrun with tourists. In some of the streets, the upper stories are built out over the narrow streets until they almost meet. We then drove back over to the west side of England and into Scotland, driving alongside the old Raman Wall for some distance. We spent a night on a sheep farm among the hills of the Border country and then to Ayr and Greenock where we could look across the Firth of Clyde to the Cowal Penin- sula, the country of the Clan Lamont of which the McCly monts are members. Glasgow is a very friendly city with the downtown streets turned into malls. We were here for the July 12th Orange Walk and watched for over three hours as thousands of Orangemen and women walked by four to eight abreast, so close together to almost be treading on each other's heels. The lodges and bands must have numbered in the hundreds. We, visited Stirling Castle and the Bannockburn Bat- tlefield where Robert the NOTICE OF INTENTION TO PASS A IYLAW TAKE NOTICE that the Corporation of the Township of Hullett intends to pass at its meeting on Tuesday Septem- ber 8th, 1981 a bylaw as follows; 1.

Bruce with a force of 30,000 Scots defeated a combined army of 100,000 English, Irish and French and so established Scotland's Independence. From Glasgow we drove along Loch Lomond to the Cowal Peninsula in the Western Highlands and saw the ruined Lamont Castles of Toward and Dunoon that were destroyed by Crom- well's forces in the civil war. Also the memorial at Dunoon for over 200 of our clan who were murdered there after being taken prisoner at the surrender of the Toward Turn to page 18 • The final days of summer are here for area school students, and local teenagers are soaking in the sun and treasuring the remaining days of vacation.
