Broken Windows
A Memory of Shute.
I remember arriving fresh from Singapore and having to visit the loo during the night. It was absolutely freezing and one of the windows in the bathroom was broken letting in a vicious cold blast of air! I staggered back to a lumpy bed thinking I had landed in the jaws of hell! I remember more of the older girls, one with a wonderful name - Audrey Doreen Dennison-Wiggins I believe! Mardi was my guardian as my parents were overseas - I hated Lacrosse!
The kitchen was scary with ancient dishwashers making a racket, I was terrified for months but eventually settled down. Was transferred to boarding school in New Zealand a year later which changed my life for the better.
