Remembering This..

Suzie 'Fruzie' (surname Fruzan: Ed?) with the thick, long plait, coming back from Lynn Hospital showing off her pickled appendix in a specimen bottle! Staying with Sheena Haste (for an exeat) at Hadleigh rectory and seeing a convoy of Red Cross desert trucks bound for Suez passing across nearby farmland.
Sheena delivering a golf swing with the cricket bat on to my nose in mixed cricket - I was the keeper! Mr Tomlinson delivery the casualty home to Old Hunstanton.


Jane Tuck playing goalie in mixed hockey, bravely grabbing a fast approaching ball and yelling "what do I do with it now?".
Five stones and Lurky, Lurky 1 - 2 - 3.
Exciting trips in the Transit to London netball tournaments - staying on the Cromwell Road!
That dreadful girl's cloakroom. The 'changing facilities' in the hay loft! The smell of dustmo (sp?) and Saturday morning classroom cleaning! Silver/gold stars from Miss Mowlam (or was it Miss. Butterfield: Ed?) if you made church on Sundays! A youngster's 'crush' on beautiful Miss. Brasnett et al. And then the boys ....who shall remain nameless to avoid embarrassment..........…
In the dining room:


Black cabbage and wonderful 'Thames Mud' pud. Fish bones on Friday but worth it for the BAKED BEANS, vats of them. Cheese and rolls on Saturday. That pin in the back if not sitting up straight on those benches.
And finally, the lunchtime lectures by RPP on unpaid fees!
The awful sadness of the final day summer service at Heacham church and the tears..…
