I must have been about seven (1956) when I first wore glasses. I also remember
the photograph being taken of me with the Nigerians - The way their hands were
coloured intrigued me. (I'd never met black people until then.)'Rosemary', Northcourt Road, Abingdon, Berkshire. (Abingdon now in Oxfordshire.)
1955 - 1957
Father was Curate of
North Abingdon. Berkshire.
Nov.29th – 1st Dec 1955 “It was nice to
see you all again in happy surroundings. Judith getting so grown up and Robbie
so talkative – not forgetting soft, furry Wilfred. Thank you so much.” Phyl.

'Rosemary' a pleasant detached house, with a long garden, next door to the
school. There was a small outdoor swimming pool but too cold to use except
once or twice in midsummer. 
Dunmore School - it is still much
as I remember it from the outside. It was here I 'went up' to the Junior School
level.
The old
Medieval Barn which father was partly instrumental in getting converted to a
church.
St
Nicolas Church where Nick was baptised.
St Helen's
Church - father often did afternoon services here (mostly baptisms.) I'd sit
in the vestry doing drawings and art work.
