I went back to school the other day. Down memory lane to a happy time, the days of my boyhood. Short trousers, long socks and round wire prescription glasses. Buying wine gums and aniseed balls from Harley's shop in Helen Street; slaking my thirst with a drink from the Lion's Head; walking the ledge around the outer wall of the school; getting thrown out of the choir because 'ye canny sing', these are just some of the incidents that came flooding back. Revisiting Rosemount Primary school lifted my soul. Happy days indeed!
