In the winter of 1963 during my last year in Junior School, whilst playing in the school yard at lunchtime, we were busy skating on ice formed on the tarmac surface. This was a common pastime, though frowned upon by teachers (even before health and safety!) Inevitably there were accidents, most of which only resulted in the odd graze or a tear to clothing. The girl who skated across the ice in front of me failed to clear the line and as I approached at speed on the ice, we collided. The end result was that she was knocked into the wall ahead of her, initially I thought that she was alright, but soon afterwards we noticed that her nose was bleeding.
