Christmas

A Memory of East Ham.

When I worked at Fentocraft in St Johns Road it was a small factory that did hand painting on glass and pick-a-sticks, a game. We always had a Christmas party, they would put a table down the middle and our bosses, a M and Mrs Bound, provided the food, always a turkey and all the trimmings, even wine, which we never had at home, with our lunch. They even gave us all presents, not just one, of which I still have a Hummel figure. We had a great time. I'm still in touch with some of the girls all these years later. Great times, but if you asked for a new paint brush they would almost count the hairs on it, how funny.
