[Margaret Pilkington]

I think this is a very broad generalisation.
During my working life I had to get up very early.........I am talking 4am......for a shift starting at 6am(In Rawtenstall) this meant a walk from Clayton to Accrington to get the bus up there.......which got into Rawtenstall at 5.58....so then I had to leg it to the mill, clock in and set my looms on by the time the buzzer went.

My nursing career meant lots of shiftwork too.....sometimes lates, sometimes earlies, so I reckon that after a lifetime of early rising it has become hard to tell which I am.
Lifetime habits die hard.......and I still waken early......but am glad when i know I can go back to sleep.
