MILKING IT FOR ALL IT WAS WORTH

When the government introduced free milk for students at recess we found an increase in the number of kids being kept in. Milk was not allowed for the naughty ones but to avoid wasting this 'gift' the house nun (a non-teaching caretaker of the convent) would collect the 'left-overs' and by lunchtime we had some delicious milk iceblocks for sale at 2d each.

These were very popular and we would wait at the convent gate in anticipation. We were never disappointed as there was always plenty for sale.
