Staying at The Bullers Arms

When i was 11 I started school at Tavistock, and met a lovely girl called Helen Desmond who became my best friend. Helen's family (sister Sandra and brother Jonathan) lived at the Bullers Arms and I used to stay there every weekend and during the holidays, until she had to go to a boarding school in 1973. Friday's we used to go to the hall for tap dancing and we performed in a Christmas show (I think it was 1972). That was alot of fun especially with the lads who used to watch the girls dancing and were doing the scenery for the show. I can actually still remember some of the dance routines we did, scary!!! We used to take Helen's dog for walks, mostly down by the river, and eating cob nuts if i remember rightly, and I nearly forgot, having a crafty fag.
