Re: School reports and the 'Big Picture'
I have my reports - saved by Mum. Mine (65-70) are all single pages, with subject designated boxes.

Re: RIP Midget
I will do an obit for the next issue of The Old Blue but the copy deadline is just a few days away. Thank you for taking on this task Jo. Will it be possible to ensure that Maggie's family receive a copy? I believe that her husband was well aware of her activity on the Forum, and how much we respec...

Re: That date rings a bell....
What might my life have been like if 'd gone with them.......? I don't suppose I'd be about to be installed as Rector of Haslemere. All very odd really. I've been playing this game a lot recently, and for me it always comes back to my son and daughter - who probably wouldn't be part of my life if I...

Re: Riots, London and Elsewhere
I've been playing with horses all weekend, and only briefly heard from the radio that there had been riots in Tottenham. Clearly things are much worse than I thought. Off to google. Thinking of you all.

Re: Books studied in English
A Yorkshire-English dictionary! :shock: Am moving to Yorkshire at the end of the month, to commence granny duties in October, so am excited that there is such a publication... ( Does it deal with Yorkshire as a whole, or does one need to specify whether one is trying to converse with a North, West ...

Re: The School Rules
Liz, Alex, Willow and I took a nostalgic walk across the Meads when we gathered to view 'Forgotten Blues'. I had completely forgotten the tow path, the canal that just stops, and the little cottages that must have flooded many times. There is now a café (Starbucks?) on the bank closest to town, and...

Re: Hertford to Horsham
When I read Neill's post I thought that he was referring to 'Half to Remember'. Maybe DR was a great Headmistress in the eyes of all when she was young and new to the position. I feel that it is wrong for any institution to permit someone to remain in the same position for the length of time that DR...

Re: Hertford to Horsham
The sad fact is that I was a disaffected loser while at Hertford, and for many years after leaving there, courtesy of the great career advice given ('You cannot be a Veterinary Surgeon. You are a woman' 'You realise that you will never amount to anything when people see, from your cv, that you did n...

Re: TWO deaths : Betty Jukes and Jean Taverner
Hi Kerren Thank you for passing on this information. I only spent one (two?) terms under BJ's tutelage, so will leave others to contribute to her obit. My enduring memory of Miss Taverner is of her playing the Widor. I am still stirred as I hear the wonderful, stirring notes in my head and remember ...

Re: Springwatch
While stripping the flowers from Elderflower bunches (purely for medicinal puropses -- nothing to do with Elderflower Wine ! :oops: ) Oh, how I miss elderflowers and elderberries. We did manage to grow a bush in a very sheletered area at the farm. It flowered beautifully, but the berries were scarc...

Thank you.
Isn't it something to do with being King by the grace of God? So, Deo gratias Rex, um and then I come unstuck - fidelis?

Re: Do You Still Appear in Public in a Swimsuit ?
Niece's partner to niece's favourite Aunt (during visit to Andalucia last year): 'Caroline! You are going to wear a bikini???????????????????' Caroline to Liam: 'I most certainly am not. This is a tankini.' 'A what?' 'A fat person's bikini'. The only benefit of a tankini over a one-piece is that it ...
