Thank you. Recently having found him via a Fb page I went to Bolton to meet up with a lad I met on my first day of nursery class. Hadn’t seen him for 60+ years as the school we attended asked him not to come back. We shared memories
Those stinging lessons! In my memory we jumped in them multiple times and, in the end, they lost the power to sting us. I'm sure there must be a scientific research paper on that topic somewhere - how to beat nettles at their own game.
I think this is a thing! After a while your body produces antihistamines and nettles lose their stinging power over you. I keep seeing reels of people stinging themselves on purpose as a natural hayfever remedy

Thanks so much, John. I'm intrigued to know why your friend was asked not to come back!
Smashing topic that you could easily expand I
Into a chapter in your memoirs! I find it oddly painful to reflect on friendships dating feom childhood but subsequently forgotten
Thanks Colin! It was a bit alarming to look back over my first decade and not remember anyone - until Peggy, of course!

That's fascinating, Katie. I'm not sure I want to try it though!
I'm not sure we did beat the stinging nettles at their own game though!
