Ascension Day
Today is Ascension Day, I have very happy memories of it being a very special day at school. When I look back it didn't take much to make us happy - one year The Study made and sold fudge to us to raise money for a trip to Woburn Abbey. (We were encouraged to donate our breakfast sugar to make the fudge!). Why is it that I can remember more about the build up than the actual day itself?

Funnily enough I can remember Ascension Day from primary school more clearly than from CH.
I went to a C 0f E primary school and we would walk from school across the fields to the village church for a service then we were free for the rest of the day.
We used to go on trips doidn't we?
2's had a double decker bus to go on my first year, much better than a boring old coach.

Did we only have the double-decker that one year ? Think that was the Hatfield House outing ( but could be wrong)
Ascension Day is pilchard sandwiches for me - ( we made our own packed lunch, and chose what to put in the sandwiches) .. still love the things, to the disgust of family...

Double-deckers? Luxury indeedenglishangel wrote:I think 2's had had the double-decker the year befor I started so yes, you would have had it at least twice.
It was either Hatfield House or Audley End. Neither very interesting to a 12 year old.
