We lived right in the center of Maidstone, the county town of Kent, in England.

 Opposite was the emergency room hospital, next to us was a garage, and then the school.  I went to East Borough Infant and Junior School, which was on the ground floor, or first floor as I have since learned.  Then at age 11 I went to the Senior school, which was called Vinters Girl’s School, which was the level above.

 This was great because I could get up just minutes before school started each day and know that I wouldn’t be late.  When we had P.E. in the field, up the road, I would run home with my friends and grab a quick drink, and still be back with the rest of the class.

The only downfall to this was I couldn’t pretend to be sick and then go out into the garden.  From the school you could see straight into our backyard.
