MargaretBOWEN"QUEEN OF THE KITCHEN" AT DEAN CLOSE SCHOOL FOR 44 YEARS. (1972 -2016) We met, we married a long time ago. We worked long hours and wages were low. No tele, no radio, no bath, times were hard. Had a cold tap and a loo up the yard. No trips abroad, no carpets on floors. We had coal on the fire and never locked doors. The children arrived, no choice in those days. And we brought them all up without any state aid. No Valium, no drugs, we were free. We soothed away pain with a nice cup of tea. If you were sick you were treated at once. No filling out forms and come back in a month. No vandals, no mugging, we'd nowt to rob. In fact you were rich with a couple of bob. People were happier in those far off days. Kinder more caring in so many ways. Milkmen and paperboys would whistle and sing. A night at the flicks was a wonderful thing. We had our troubles, we had our strife. We just had to face them "twas all part of life". Now I'm alone looking back through the years. I don't think of troubles the bad times and tears. I remember the blessing a home filled with love. We shared them together and I THANK GOD ABOVE. God Bless Darling, lots of love, John, Joe & Jonjo xxx
