Went to Hazelford Ferry Boating.
Notes
Grandad went boating at Hazelford Ferry about 20 miles from Kirkby. He does not say how he went, or who he went with, if anyone. However, he probably went with grandma, Ethel Cirket. They were “courting” at this time and would marry in 1930, see Chapter 16.
One of the activities they particularly enjoyed was boating. In addition to Hazelford, where they had been the previous Saturday, they also went boating in Belper, Highfields and Matlock. They took grandad’s niece, Olive, and nephews, Roy and Basil, boating in Belper one at a time in June and July 1927, see Chapter 21.
