Check out mail section Text Box: Home Text Box: Mail Page Text Box: Rachael.Eades@ulh.nhs.uk 19th March 2008 My name was  Rachael Carter, the youngest of the Carter family of Fairfield Farm, Backford. My memories are of Backford school in the early 1950’s (I was born in 1949). The Headmistress was the very formidable Miss Owen , who always dressed in black. The other teacher was Mrs Speed, a very homely lady who became a very close family friend. I have a very clear memory of being forced to eat tapioca pudding for lunch – you didn’t refuse food in those days – to this day I can’t face milk puddings of any description. Rachael Eades
