Loch Lomond memories..... for Blackrox....

[Kobione]

Blackrox, you have got me soooo frustrated at the moment! No fault of yours, of course My first memories of Loch Lomond must go back to about 1950. My parents and I travelled up from Lancashire and stayed at a small hotel on the banks of the Loch. It was peaceful and lovely. The Hoteliers had a son, called Eric, who was my age, and we played together and paddled in the water together. I also remember that this was the first time I ever tasted freshly caught Salmon - yum! Still love it.

Then, later, we came out to Oz and returned to UK in 1960. We had a caravan and toured all over UK for almost 12 months, and did return to Loch Lomond. I had a Kodak camera then, and I took a photo of the hotel - still there and looking good.

Do you think I can find that photo!!!!! I have a small box of these old photos and I have obviously put them away somewhere so safe I can't find them! I can see the place clearly, in my mind, and it brings back lots of happy memories.

Enjoy your time there - I'm envious :)
