My step mum

When I was 7 years old, my Father re-married
He married someone called Bridget Keyes, but

she was called Bridie...we moved to where

she lived in Port Glasgow... we lived at

18 Kelburn Terrace. I called her Mum, and actually

I loved her.... even at that time I could'nt remember

much of my real mum.

She was good to me...although not as nice to my

brother Andrew...

She always had some kind of a cough also...I dont

know if it was a nervous one.

When my father married her, I inherited new cousins.

The ones I remember were Jean, Thomas, Brian

and the one I remember the most is Margaret !

I loved Margaret... used to take her to Gourock

and buy her treats, and get our picture taken

in those photo booths that were by the water.

Ahhhhhh... memories!!
