My friend Anna had an Uncle Jonathan, who lived with her and her father. Anna’s parents were divorced, which was rare in my generation and circles. The three of them lived in a huge house, and Anna had her own suite of rooms in the front. I met Anna through school, and I believe we […]
Crossing into discipline
I was at primary school in the 1950s in the north-east of England, where spankings at home and at school were commonplace.
