Research for my Ma…….

…..because she was reminiscing about an old schoolfriend/neighbour of hers yesterday…..Wilfie Schollick was killed after the war in 1946 in a plane crash while he was still in the services in the far east. But in happier days he used to sit behind my Ma in a Haltwhistle classroom and copy her work in tests, they had 'an agreement' that was eventually thwarted by their teacher and my Ma was moved to a desk further away;-) They also used to swap comics on a Sunday morning in a sort of two-for-the-price-of-one arrangement……but apparently my Ma always used to have to reclaim her copy of Chips otherwise Wilfie would have hung onto it……..
