memories memories are of all sorts of animals being driven along the roads,or being carried in horse-drawn gigs, to the cattle market
twice twice a week.
Frightening experiences in the streets occurred when stationary
horses horses with carts would suddenly bolt off when they saw a motor car or heard a car horn.
My My proudest moment was when I was allowed to drive (at the age of 7 years)a cartload of horse manure to some gardeners on the outskirts of Kettering.
Christmas dinner in the general store was always a wonderful occasion. After the singing of carols we had roast pork with all the trimmings. Then the great moment came when the plum pudding was brought in. It was held high while a brandy that had been poured ovewr it was lit. Inside it there was a silver threepenny piece for every guest. There were no crackers or paper hats. When the meal was over there were recitations and more singing.

A memorable part of my childhood was spent in Rio Tinto, Andalucia, Spain. There was (and still is as far as I know) a housing complex complete with chuch and school for the British employees of Rio Tinto copper mine. There had been a mine in the Sierra Morena since Roman times, which yielded all the gold for the Romans, but the modern Rio Tinto company mined mostly copper.
There was a secluded colonial life for the British families; for instance, no effort was made to teach the children Spanish. We young children were taught by a teacher employed by Rio Tinto and at ten or eleven were sent 'home' to boarding school, or in my case, to live with grandparents.
