Mauri, if you mean Chapel Hill the nuns would have been taking the pupils up to the dreaded Confessional. We were brought up in an orderly line, two girls together, once a month. We were instructed to behave nicely and not let the school down. I say the "dreaded" confessional. As it was, being youngsters we had nothing to tell. Later on,..............................!!! a different story.

No Ann, I meant the Longstone way above the Chapel, in fact I can remember them passing our house on the other side of the street and we lived in Lismara Terrace at the corner of Warren Gardens and the Longstone, maybe they were just out for a walk ??, Mauri

Mauri, you may be right about them being out for a walk. Otherwise, I don't have a clue.

Could they have been visiting the cemetery>

Dabbler, I don't imagine the nuns would have been taking the girls to visit the cemetery, but I could be wrong. Maybe someone else (a lurker?) would know.

My dear lady KK,
I do not wish to appear argumentative but one would have thought that you, as a pupil, would possibly have partaken in one of these events or, was it, as seems likely, have been the case that you were an idle individual who spent their time in more mundane tasks such as cookery?

Dabbler, They were passing in front of our house which was nowhere near the entrance to the cemetary, I can't remember the year or if it was before I left home in late 1945 or maybe when I was on leave, not that it matters It was just one of those memories that was brought up by Pat and Ann talking about the convent.

Low Roader, pay attention to the content of Mauri's posting and you will realise that it would have been impossible for me to have been walking up the Longstone. The time he mentions is during the war years. I know you are of a great age now, but remember that not all of us are as old as you. At the time Mauri mentions I would have been a baby. Na, na, na na na.!!!!!!!!
