I was in 'Boarding' School all of 1948..Run by the crankiest lot of Nun's
you could ever 'not' want to meet.. :-))I was an 8 year old...I had to go
there because my own Mother was crippled and my Father was in hospital for
neigh on 1 year being treated for 'Tuberculosis'... My staple food was
(every day) stale bread in a bowl with hot milk poured over it....I can
still 'Taste' it..even after all these years ... And the meat was mostly
always 'Sausages' of very poor quality !....I never ate sausages much again
until I was married in 65'...I now love all the different varieties ....
