Out of the blue my mum announced that I would be accompanying her to a small first aid class at the home of one of her friends, who was a District Nurse. The DN had mentioned to some mums in our village that a quick course might be beneficial.
I protested saying it would be boring and anyhow I had homework to do, all to no avail.
So we arrived at the DN's home to find about eight chairs arranged in a circle in her sitting room. Already seated were three old biddies. Take a seat the DN said, so my mum and I joined them. This is going to be as bad as I feared it might be.
The DN announced that she was waiting for the final two to arrive and then she would make a start.
The door bell rang and in walked Sarah, a 15 year old from my school and her mum, Mary. Sarah was a year ahead of me. All the boys had a crush on her mum. Her husband, Sarah's dad, worked in a Bank which made him a step above most of the families in the village. They were a very correct, prim and proper church going family.
Mary was a very attractive woman who always dressed immaculately, she did have a slight air of superiority about her which caused some resentment.
Sarah and Mary took their places and the DN sat at the remaining seat. Mary was wearing a dark blue dress to just below the knee with nude hose and matching blue court shoes. She looked amazing and was every little boys dream.
As she sat down she paid particular attention to ensuring that her dress was smoothed down over her knees, which were together. She knew how to sit so that spotty little boys couldn't see up her dress. I guess she was a little concerned that, being sat in a circle, she would have to be careful.
Anyway the lesson began and it was pretty boring, I started to speculate what Mary might be hiding underneath her dress and what colour her knickers might be.
