When we got posted there in 1968 it was something that I’d always wanted but didn’t know it until that time. If that makes sense. It was also the longest place that I’d stayed anywhere and after two and a half years I was making the mistake of getting comfy.
The bloody place does get under your skin, doesn’t matter if you want it to or not, it just happens.
I was trying to tell someone recently about Long Row, and the smells. How you could start off from one end whiffing things from the shops and by the time you got to the other end you were smelling something entirely different, once again, if that makes sense to anyone. I have no memories of anywhere else like that.
I have so many memories, more from there than anywhere else, not all good ones but the good far outweigh the bad .
I love Kintyre with such a hurt in my heart that never goes away and that is why I like this forum and the pics that are posted, it is somewhere I will never see again but I will love forever.
Just so you know.
Ouch !
