I am most definitely an old lady now – my childhood was during the 50s – but I still look back with fondness at those halcyon days, even though we didn’t have much and our parents were strict.
I was one of three girls, and that being the case our mum dealt with us when it came to matters of discipline, or indeed anything else which might be considered private or sensitive. As I say, we didn’t have much and Mum made all our clothes growing up – she was a very accomplished seamstress.
