A 1967 poem

I am writing to tell you about a poem that has recently come intomy possession.

It is a poem written by my aunt.

My aunt was born in 1930, in Farm Road, Street, in one of thewooden bungalows, and lived there until she left home in 1946, atthe age of 16, and went to work in a Dr Barnado's home in Porlock.

My aunt's name is Esther Lovett (nee Norton). After a spell ofworking for Barnardo's she went to work in children's homes aroundthe West Country and eventually joined the police force in the mid-1950s and moved to Sussex.

In the 1960s she became a teacher, which she remained until sheretired. She now lives in Barnstaple.

As you can …
