The camp on a farm near Great Bardfield in Essex where our class and some
younger children too, went two summers running.
Pretty basic by today’s standards. We had to stuff our own paillasses with

The donkey rider is John Hall. The caravan was parked near the camping site
The camp at Great Bardfield. Probably in 1955. A bunch of younger children
with the donkey. Not sure of their names, but maybe they will recognise themselves
