The Red Lion

Throughout the 1950's John's paternal grandparents owned and ran The Red Lion, a pub in Fareham. We have been back here to stay a few times since 1981 and it's most often been a good stay filled with memories from John's childhood. He shows me the same things and tells me the same stories and it's really quite nice. We also go to the local cemetery and tidy Grandpop's grave.
On this occasion we checked into our room which happened to be one of the older ones. As I opened the door to number 22, the look on JE's face was priceless. This very same room was his Granny's sitting room all that time ago.

 It was a big room with a lovely bay window overlooking the main road.

 He relived every moment he had spent with his Gran in this room and pointed out where her furniture used to sit and where and how she used to sit. Weird and just a little bit spooky.
We had a drink downstairs and cheersed all past relatives then walked down to another pub, The Delme Arms, which his Grandpop had also run before he took on The Red Lion.

Before we left we put the boys out on the sofa so they could have a visit with Granny in her room.
When we returned the boys were still there but not standing up as I had left them, but all laying down. Again...weird and quite a lot spooky.
I have no idea...........
