Keeping The Faith

A Memory of Burnt Oak.

I too went to St Jame's Burnt Oak - a despicable place - not one happy memory - I did visit the school again and met a caretaker nun - they were knocking the school down - I asked for a brick for a keep sake - driving out I threw it through the first window I could see - the only saving grace, if it is indeed a grace, is the fact I am still (God only knows why) a practising Catholic.
