MM Links August 2010 [Week 2]
51 Answers
“Good Morning” to all AB Linkers from The Lady Ursula” (aka owllady) and “Welcome” to my second week as setter of the August MM Links Game. I hope you BEAR with me as I continue to learn my trade. My early background must have themes shared by many of my fellow AB Linkers.
I was born in Essex in 1946, but the family moved to Lincolnshire when I was 3 years old after my father left the army and the available work was mainly in the farming industry. I eventually attended the local village primary school from the age of 5 years old until 11. There were only 40 children in the whole school and I can remember distinctly the small bottles of milk being left outside the school gates. In the winter, the milk was frozen and had to be thawed out in front of the old pot-bellied stove (the resulting milk drink tasted awful!) and in the summer the blue-tits pecked through the metal-foil milk tops to get at the cream.
