Homesick

I went to Steventon as a 'Mother's Help' to an Italian family.  I came from near Manchester. I had to clean, look after a baby and a toddler and help with cooking.
But I had never been away from home before and decided it wasn't for me.  It was a lovely house on the Causeway which was a listed building. The family didn't own it.  I remember the lady making me wash and iron all my bedding while my mum sat with me in the kitchen to take me home!
