Unforgetable Stay

A Memory of Nutley.

As a 15-year-old Spaniard boy I came to England thanks to the kindness of Mr and Mrs M.J. Leggett who paid the travel and stay expenses, for a long stay at their Shelley Arms place. I met them in Sitges (Barcelona) while they were on holiday. After all these years I still have vivid memories of my six months stay, making friends with the local people, and the staff who worked at the hotel - they all were so kind to me. I had the opportunity to visit that part of England and learn so many things about English people, i.e., democracy, behaviour, respect to each other, the hard-working life of its people, so different from where I came, as at that time (1956) Spain was under the tight dictatorship of Franco. Thanks again to every body.
