So what's difficult is not so much this post, as the ones to come. But it's helping me, so I fully intend to do it properly.<br />I'm so touched by the kind comments.<br />CarolineLonicerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141723287143567146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360936507322491939.post-53367423507328272822009-07-02T18:43:31.322+01:002009-07-02T18:43:31.322+01:00Just checking up on you.

Thinking about future posts, I've forced myself today to go through all the dusty photos in the attic (about most of which I've been in denial for many years)and have been so surprised at how differently I see them now. I've scanned them onto my computer and will show some of the representative ones (don't worry, not all of them!!) as I go along. <br />Hence the delay in Part 2. More will follow shortly.<br />And thank you again - mostly for your kindness.<br />CarolineLonicerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141723287143567146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360936507322491939.post-62686409528507833852009-06-28T18:07:43.453+01:002009-06-28T18:07:43.453+01:00Oh geez-just looked at all of my misspellings and ...Oh geez-just looked at all of my misspellings and typos-I really need to be more careful with the comments!<br /><br />TinaTinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16965135571189867376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360936507322491939.post-86437986202638132232009-06-27T18:24:39.901+01:002009-06-27T18:24:39.901+01:00So did you feel chubby when you looked at these pi...So did you feel chubby when you looked at these pictures from your knew place in life or did you think-wow I felt chubby and really wan't that bad? As an outsider looking in I think you look great in the pictures. The malnutrition part is something else though. Were the school masters just trying to make money?<br /><br />This also makes me curious-How did you get from South America to the UK? or if your parents were transplants why? ;) I get to travel quite a bit but I have always wanted to live in another country. Thus far i haven't managed it.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16965135571189867376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360936507322491939.post-24201462310638591582009-06-25T08:25:14.443+01:002009-06-25T08:25:14.443+01:00I found that all extemely interesting and can'...I found that all extemely interesting and can't wait for the rest! I can't get over the fact you had malnutrition!!! I also think you look like a gorgeous "normal" sized child in all of the photos.

You say you were a bit on the chunky side at 14, yet you look the picture of health. Schools can be cruel, teachers and other children can be cruel.

It always is intriguing to me to read about people going away from home to go to school. I understand about uniforms. We had neighbors that went to private school and wore uniforms, but in Oklahoma in my day if you went away to school it was, in the case of the fellows, a military school to teach them to shape up. I don't recall knowing any girls that went away to school, but we are talking a different century with me. I would love to be able to talk about going to different countries, but I've had to settle for doing a lot of reading to get my travels in a vicarious way. I'm looking forward to your next installment to get some more of my traveling 'fix'.<br /><br />HelenReddirt Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08485995791439570214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360936507322491939.post-86403536520407351892009-06-21T11:46:53.446+01:002009-06-21T11:46:53.446+01:00Thanks Tracey (and welcome back to the land of the...Thanks Tracey (and welcome back to the land of the living!!).
