Cod liver oil, orange juice, half a pint of watered down milk. Camp beds set up in the hall for us little ones to get a bit of sleep after dinner.
The caretaker allowing me to stoke the boiler, pretending I was on a steam engine.
The joy of being picked to mix the ink powder and fill the ink wells, I felt really important.
Twins being sent home because their mother had just received a telegram saying their dad was killed in action.
Six foot snow drifts and the school stayed open with every kid attending. We all lived within half a mile, no parents parking outside to collect us at home time, we all walked.
