Sometimes I used to catch the bus at home, go back to Pleinmont, go all the way to town, and spend some time in town, just walking around as there was nothing much to do, and nothing to buy in the shops, although occasionally in Maison Carre, a shop in the Arcade, which is almost opposite the Jewellers & Silversmiths now, they would make, if they happened to get some raisins and currants in a sort of fruit pudding sort of thing. You could go in there, though you had to queue up and you had a small piece each. I think it was made with potatoes mainly, and possibly flour and a few raisins, and not having anything like that for months on end it was really something to look forward to. But you were only allowed a small piece.
