"...being bilingual at home but having to speak English at Acha school. We had it easier than the children who only spoke Gaelic. The teacher was Miss Brodie. We walked to school, of course, from the Roundhouse. Sometimes we got a lift but I remember one unkind driver who would always ignore us. Every morning we each took a jam jar with a spoonful of cocoa and sugar in it. At school either hot water or milk was added but often we had eaten the delicious mixture long before we got to school."
