To say he was strict was an understatement, but it was all we had. Two sods of turf a day we brought in each child to keep that very small fire going and we knew when it was cold in the classroom when the ink wells froze solid on our desks. Today I hear the children love going to Castleblakeney N.S and they all love the teachers. It is lovely to see now that the school has expanded and times are happy now
