The Happy Hillock shop at Mid Craigie, The Arcade where you could buy almosy anything on a Saturday especially scraps. Playing boxes with a shoe polish, tin penny dainties, fireside tartan, the belt provident cheques, an orange and apple at Christmas, homemade paper, Christmas decorations, making calendars using old Christmas cards at school. The joy of it all never to be forgotten.&nbsp;</p> Childhood Christmas Lynda Kay (Campbell) Mid Craigie Mon, 02 Mar 2015 09:20:44 +0000 lynne.davidson 1305 at http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk/reminiscences/milk-delivering-and-berry-picking <p>Lived in Findcastle Place in Fintry late 50's early 60's . My father was the milkmam and I and 3 other boys delivered milk with him. I started at age 11 and finished when I was 16. We worked from 5 30 in the morning until 7 30. Carried two metal crates with 8 bottles of milk in each 364 days, got New Year's Day off. The winter was horrible used to go round hands and feet frozen, snot dripping but summer was great because when we finished the milk we would catch the berry lorry at Fintry shops and pick berries all day. Make a fortune.&nbsp;</p> Childhood Hobbies Work / Working Life Lynda Kay (Campbell) Fintry Mon, 02 Mar 2015 09:16:07 +0000 lynne.davidson 1304 at http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk/reminiscences/lost-places <p>So glad Mollie remembered Mid Craigie. I was born in Maryhill HospitaI in 1946 and my mum, dad, older sister and me went to live with my granny at 119 Drumlanrig Drive Mid Craigie, while they waited for a council house. They got one in Fintry and now had 4 kids. When they moved I was 4 and sick so stayed with my granny. I lived with her until I was 11. It was a wonderful childhood used to get 1/2 penny to keep watch for the police from the men playing cards. Putting a line on for my gran at the iillegal bookies. Getting the sheets wrapped in brown paper out of the pawn shop.<span class="read-more"><a href="/reminiscences/lost-places"><strong>&nbsp;Read more......</strong></a></span></p> 1940's Childhood Lynda Kay (Campbell) Fintry Mid Craigie Mon, 02 Mar 2015 09:12:08 +0000 lynne.davidson 1303 at http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk/reminiscences/rainbow-school <div>Tina so can't believe I forgot the school was called the rainbow, big memory jolt.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> Childhood School Days Lynda Kay (Campbell) Tina Linlathen Mon, 02 Mar 2015 09:05:39 +0000 lynne.davidson 1302 at http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk/reminiscences/girls-game-only <div>Mike the game was just called stot the ball against the wall but only girls were allowed to play!</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> Childhood Games Lynda Kay (Campbell) Mike Mochan Mon, 02 Mar 2015 09:02:51 +0000 lynne.davidson 1301 at http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk
