Age Concern Dorchester - Dorset's Living Memories

Every picture tells a story

Gwen Spicer writes...

I went to school in what are now the tea rooms at Moreton. We had to wear a dark dress, apron and white starched epaulettes.

 One day we were having our school photograph taken and my apron was all creased so I took it off for the photo, but when I came home that night dad said to me ‘you did wear your apron, didn’t you?’ and I didn’t want him to know so I said, ‘yes I did’ – I didn’t know the photo would tell the truth! There’s still a photo of me in my uniform on the wall in the tea room!
