Now I believe all dorms are mixed. It actually is economically more practical, I'm sure.

I suppose that during the war many schools across Europe were forced to find new locations for students that made for a different kind of foreign exchange.

But it was the one of your daughter sleeping in the bunk on a ski trip that caught my attention because of the curtain. We have (or had, anyway) one exactly like it! It used to be a bedspread but eventually became a curtain to pull across a tent doorway when one only wanted to change clothes in there & didn't want to have to pull the full canvas door shut in order to do it & roast alive inside a hot tent. Mom sewed tabs inside the tent on either side & above the door which held a small curtain rod in place & the former bedspread-curtain slid back & forth on shower curtain rings. Worked great!La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050717887740211904.post-37796150801188930432014-05-23T16:13:24.066+01:002014-05-23T16:13:24.066+01:00As an 8 yr old I was sent to Riddlesworth Hall in ...As an 8 yr old I was sent to Riddlesworth Hall in Diss, Norfolk where we slept in dormitories. 20 years later Princess Di went to the same school and had the same head mistress.
