“My memory of 1976 is being bitten by ladybirds…”
| At the Filton Festival, Alison remembers 1976 and being bitten by ladybirds due to a lack of aphids (or so Alison’s mum told her). She also recalls the foamy sea at Weston. Alison Finn: My name is Alison Finn my memory of 1976 is being bitten by ladybirds because there were not enough aphids for them to eat which is what my Mum told me. I had bites all underneath my arms. Liz Roberts: So what did you do to try and ease that? Alison Finn: Just using bite cream and then put a cardigan on. Liz Roberts: Is there anything else you remember about the heat? Alison Finn: I do remember seeing my Dad swim for the first time in Weston, and it was all really foamy like beer had been dropped but I think it was just pollution from the sea or the river. |
