This identity card is invalid and was only valid for a year. It was my last year at school, 1964, and a cruise to Eastern baltic countries was organised, in which I partook. One of the countries was Russia, where we were visiting the town of Leningrad and we schoolgirls all had to have a valid identity card. This was a group card. Our card was inspected every time we left the ship and boarded again by the Russian army. The name and address on the card are no longer valid of course, this was many years ago and I have been living in Switzerland now for many years and am married. However, it is a memory visiting a soviet country at this time, and very unique. I am proud to say I still have it, together with my expired British and Swiss Pasports.

I would have kept it also. By the way, I like your teenage-faces’ expression. 🙂

We often had offers of hoidays at school, but I never went as they did not interest me so much. However, I was determined to go on this one. Mum and dad were not so keen, mainly because of the forty-seven pounds it would cost. However, I put my foot down and said I am going. I got a Saturday job in a store and I paid for the complete holiday with my own money, and within six months, although I had almost a year to pay. Mum and dad said no more. I remember when I arrived back home, it was at the school, my last days. Afterwards it was my future working life forever.
