Worse Years Of My Life

A Memory of Hayling Island.

I was here from 1957 to 1960 ,I have memories of getting chicken poxy and having my lovely dark curly hair shaved by Sister Vincent ,I remember Sister Mary Bosco Sister Ambrose ,I have a few photoesxx of my time ,I remember being pulled up by the hair when I had dropped something ,I remember quing up down in the cellar waiting for my visitors each month ,I remember getting so poorly in the end that I went back to the hospital in London taken by Sister Vincent and her saying to me we haven't been that bad to you have we ,I remember having day beds out in the playground each day for a rest ,I remember going to the beach and wearing the most scratches towel robes ,I remember the easter egg each year , I remember putting on pantomimes each Christmas, I remember being to scared to say anything about anything ,these were not good times for me ,My name is Lesley Skinner I was Lesley King ,a small dark haired girl from the east end of London ,I do have a group photo and several others maybe I can put them up .
