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..…
