I have so many memories of Allenheads School: Major, George Nixon's dog, (brother of our dog, Judy) turning up at school each day, sitting in the classroom and having his lunch with us. I remember the snow, building forts and igloos and the snowball fights. Miss Wright turning our coats on the fireguard to get them dried ready for us to... [more]
