GHOSTBUSTERS! People were always coming to Hoar Cross Hall to eiTher hire The place or to have a look around. In 1973, because of all The media interest in our ghosts, we had a couple of professional ghost hunters asking to stay over one night to try and find The source of The noises. They brought cases full of recording equipment and set it all up in one of The attic rooms. RaTher Them than me I thought! Then I had a brilliant idea and went off to tell my broTher Gavin all about it. As mentioned in my first blog The attic and basement had a row of bells which The family used to summon The servants. Before The three men arrived we spent all...

...ocal pub, The Meynell, started having a disco every week which my friend and I went to but which my dad soon put a stop to when he saw The type of ‘long haired yobbos’ that went to it! I was furious. These were different times now and my dad, being so much older than me, couldn’t cope with it. He always dressed in a shirt, tie and waistcoat every day and hated The new look for men of jeans, tee-shirts and long hair! He certainly didn’t want Them chasing his daughter. One such long haired suiter rode up The drive on his motor bike one day to see me (we’d been meeting at The disco) and my dad chased him away yelling and shouting at The top of his voice t...

...The saga of my parents’ split continued as we grew up in our stately home, although Their behaviour was anything but stately for most of The time! Seven years of arguing and fighting were about to come to an end and The solicitors had finally agreed on a date to go to court. We carried on helping my dad to run The Hall and he still went to his boat in Caernarfon at weekends to get away from The house but we were all getting weary of it now.
