 And so I learnt my Polish not only at home, but also at the Bursa where there was a whole curriculum, Polish language, there was a nursery. And so the building evolved along to reflect the needs of the Polish community, as it settled. My parents were already married. They married in Italy before they came over, but obviously there were many Poles that came and met each other in this country. And so ksiądz Cynar who came over with the Poles from... I believe he was in Italy as well, I'm not sure. Yes, I think he was. They came over and the church in Clapham Common, St. Mary's Church, it’s got a big steeple - can't miss it, just behind the High Street was the church where all the masses, all the baptisms and all the weddings took place. And that church also has a hall, a church hall, a very large church hall with a stage. And so the first gatherings and dances and akademie, so that's linking back to the Polish school. The Polish school, which would organise these big sort of celebrations, Akademia 3-go Maja and various other events. Święcone would be there, the blessing of the Easter eggs and the Easter baskets would take place originally, it would be there, in Saint Mary's hall. And so I learnt my Polish not only at home, but also at the Bursa where there was a whole curriculum, Polish language, there was a nursery.
