I am so impressed by your abilities to remember these things. I do not remember my first day at school specifically, but do remember the school well. It was run by Anglican nuns and was in a large house with dark wooden stairs. I was utterly terrified by the nuns - I had never seen one in my life before and I thought they were aliens who had no feet as they seemed to float around in their robes. And we had to go to chapel twice a week (wearing chapel caps) and that too terrified me - there were huge (to me) carvings of the crucifixion and the cross being carried with lots of suffering and blood - they were horrifying. I dreaded it all and hated every moment. I remember the little green hymn books and singing There is a Green Hill and puzzling as to why a hill would want a city wall anyway!
No wonder I became agnostic!! Ghastly stuff!
