Church Holiday
A Memory of Swanage.
The one and only time Ive been to Swanage was in 1959, when my friend Judith and I were sent on a Social Christian Movement Holiday! Neither of us were very religeous, but had mums who thought we should be.
I cant remember much about it, except that we stayed in a Church Hall, that had a stone floor. We were given palliases (we didnt know what they were either) to fill with straw, when we first arrived and showed the trough where we were to wash each night and morning!
'Chores' had to be done each day, such as potatoe peeling or cleaning, before we were taken out for walks along the cliffs. I do remember the sandwiches! They were weird. A combination of all that was supposed to be good for 10yr olds, marmite and jam, peanut butter with dates, that sort of thing. Unheard of in my home!
