Big whelks!!!! Don't tell Edward & Bundle they will be round there and clear the place out.

Could it be a shoal of jellyfish?

[amron]

They have probably cleared out the pool they never leave much for red rab.
It could be a shoal of jellyfish.
Do you remember the old hall burning down. Great den afterwards.

Aye happy days indeed, playing on the wee jetty that Norman Bellamy built, he and his family are still holidaying in Peninver, almost 40 years on.
The only thing that's more vicious nowadays than the jellyfish are the released mink which can be seen in abundance on the shore.
Maybe if someone was to mention to Eddie that mink fur was back in fashion, there won't be a trace of the furry little buggers between Kilchusland and Whitestone.

[amron]

Aye your right. Now you see them, now you don't and a tidy wee profit.
Great fun on the jetty never fell off it till a few years ago foot slid down between rocks and gashed my leg.
total embarresment.

[howlsatthemoon]

I remember the jetty, fishing from it, and catching crabs but hey thats another story

[amron]

You could share your story about the jetty. I remember a city cousin who couldn,t row the punt and we drifted out to sea, the whole caravan park came out to laugh at us my dad was taking a flakey when we ended up on the rocks. Have to look out some old photos. Who knows who could be lurking about in them. Mabey yourself????????

Well this takes me back, i've just got in from work and had a great laugh reading all this. The Summer of 76. Oh happy days!! Still cherish it so much so I'll be spending 2 weeks there in July. Karen great that you found this site.. Unbelievable. Neil I've still promised you the photos, I just need to find them....

[Lorna Mac]

Great memories indeed. Saying that though am far too young too remember the summer of '76 was only a young thing. Peninver always has great memories. Especially if they were concerning my crazy cousins. Never a dull moment. I definately reckon a couple of you are on this site.

[amron]

I think I remember you always trooping about with your cousin Ally. How is Sammy the snake????????? You were like 2 wee twins joined at the hip. !!!! Do you remember the highlight of the summer evenings when Ina and Alison came down to the village with their horses.????

[Lorna Mac]

Sammy the snake. How would you know that. I was definately too young for that pony. I always went on the Barbour's pony from high peninver farm. Always fell of it. Bet your the troublemaker of the village who used to wreck everyones flower beds. Especially my aunties....

[amron]

Wasn't my fault that she never let me in to see Princess Annes wedding, one half of the village had electricity and the other half never. What a rolicking I got even now I never pick flowers. What lovely flowerbeds she has now.

[MumphysMum]

I read in last week's Courier that they're running low on photos for Down Memory Lane... would anything from 1976 be old enough?!!!! We could all see amron "smiling" at us!

Lorna_Mac, hope you're keeping well.

I too must dig out my photos for Neil. I've got stacks of black and white photos that my mum had, I ought to get a scanner and send some on to David for his photo album. We could ask Eddie and Robert if we can submit the one of the four young wee MacCallums, which was taken about 60 years ago!

[amron]

Hey taking about photos was that your chum that was streaking at the MK football game . I thought she was a quiet lass when she was here. I don,t know what is happening it must be the lack of meat in her diet. I hope you won,t do the same.
