This thread has brought back some memories for him indoors. Early in 1957 while he was working on Paddock House School – they were having a new classroom built - he was sent to the house where the Priest for the Sacred Heart Church lived to do some minor renovations.

He remembers the priest Father McAvoy (spelling ?) who walked from the church to Paddock House School every morning, whatever the weather – although he would have been about 70 or so.

When he knew that we were about to get married, Father McAvoy gave us a bottle of wine to celebrate. A lot of water (and wine) gone under the bridge since then.....
