Alice is now back after the Christmas break and is
looking to the finish of her teacher training and finding a teaching post; from
her letter home it looks like she is in need of further information to put on
application forms.
There are a number of positions coming up and it appear
to be middle class schools that the students are applying for and certainly
Alice seems to be very disapproving of any school that does not meet her
criteria.
Alice talks about the weather as there was a lot of snow
in 1958. The monthly weather report of
the meteorological office, Volume 75 Number 1 for January 1958 reports that 23
inches of snow had fallen on 24th & 25th January in
East Anglia.
Alice is now playing the organ for Junior Church and
seems to be enjoying that. She has been to see the Bolshoi Ballet in Bedford
and has then had to walk back to college. She is having problems with her knees
which is preventing her taking part in her practical work, after the walk her
knees have blown up like footballs and she will be having infra-red treatment
on them the following day.
She is looking forward to meeting up with her parents at
a match on the 8th February and showing them some photos from her
outward bound course in Snowdon last month.
She is a bit concerned about the match as it looks like it will be
weather and team permitting as Watford have had a habit of cancelling games.
