Red bike and First school

My sister had a 3 wheel red bike and this was to become mine at a fairly young age. Of course there were not many people around so we could ride on the pavement. I used to race all around the block, which seemed huge to me. So I loved to race around and go round the corner on 2 wheels.
I guess I had the bike when I was about 4 years old.

I started school when I was 4.3/4. I can remember not liking it at all. On the first day Mum took me and I clung to her in the playground. When the whistle went we all went into the reception classroom. Mum stayed a little while and then said she had to go and come back. I started to cry. She came back a couple or so hours later and I told her not to leave me in future and stay. Th next day the same thing happened. I guess after the 3rd day I got used to it as I started to play with others and listen to stories etc.
Everyday at about 10.30 we would be given a 1/3 pint of milk and we could have a biscuit. it was lovely.
My  first teacher was Mrs Lake I think. I can remember that she was a lovely lady.
The school was Richard Alibon School. It's still there today and has children that speak 17 different first languages.
