Camp fires

From the age of 10 though to 12, at the prep school, Sunday afternoons was camp fire time.
The kitchens would supply us with paper, matches, bread, butter, lard and if we were lucky some sausages.
We may have bought some beans, firelighters, and other tinned foods to school after the half term or holidays.
We would have fires in groups of 5 or 6.
Getting the fire going was difficult as the wood was usually wet and firelighters were not always available.
