Happy Days
A Memory of Stockland Bristol.
In 1959 I became a pupil at St Michaels School (The Old Vicarage Residential Home) where I stayed for 3 happy years, until I was told it closed after the head disappeared with the school funds. Whether or not this is true I don’t know but I prefer to believe it wasn’t, as for me him and his wife were good people. After school and during the summer holidays me and a couple of the other pupils would go down to Steart beach and look for spent bullets, as well as bird nesting and general exploring. I don’t think to many people believed that kids of 7 plus would be allowed to go and look for bullets, some being live. It was great fun. Well today Sunday 28th just over 60 years later me and my partner went to Steart beach and found some spent bullets, something I didn’t think would ever happen again. It made so many happy memories flood back and I couldn’t be happier.
