Restoration Village
I was at my old village primary school this weekend, helping out with their roadshow in support of their entry in BBC Restoration Village. The school has been closed since 1988 - I left 28 years ago!
Since it closed, the building has become derilict, and there are plans to redevlop it as a village centre (see the Pennoyer’s Centre website) but it all hinges on money.
Plenty about the project elsewhere - I just want to comment how wierd memory is - it’s like I was there in another lifetimebut it was only yesterday. Some of it seemed to be vivd recollections - some like it was seen in a movie.
I bumped into a few old friends I hadn’t seen since I was much shorter and instantly recognised them, some teachers who hadn’t changed a bit.
For someone who’s 39 today, looking back to when I was 11 is just … wierd.
