Noye's Floode must have been performed on more than one occasion if it was a "Farewell to Hertford" in the 80s. Ms Taverner was responsible for a performance in the early to mid 70s - I believe I was a Wave flooding down the aisle - resplendent in leotard and floaty aqua-coloured chiffon!!

I can SO see DR thinking a masculine stomp is more natural!! She was definitely an odd duck.

Incidently, 40 hours a week of therapy has helped, thank you very much!! lol

I don't know what the worst treated grew up to become (Kim, GMA and Lynn) but those of my era who were 'rebellious' all seem to be youth workers now. Lol!! I have worked in the Mental Health field for many, many years!! Coincidence - I think not! I also act in my spare time - role playing is always...

That reminds me of thetime I made several batches of Ginger beer in the kitchen of 2s. It was going great, until all the bottles started exploding. I was not popular!!

I love these discussions!! I have a million responses to all of them! Once again, I see evidence that I operated in something of a fog that very occasionally cleared allowing me to notice something, before being enshrouded in my blissful lack of awareness. I had no knowledge of Nines! (Or of a darkr...

I swear I spent the majority of my seven years in Hertford with my head in some kind of fog, blissfully unaware of what, or why, things were happenening. I do remember a trip to Blenheim palace in Oxfordshire at one point, but have no knowledge or awareness of why we went there or how - or whether i...

If any comments I have made implied that I didn't have an overall positive experience at CH, then I am sorry. It was a wonderful experience overall and a superb education - far exceeding any I would have had elsewhere. I think it was unique and isolated, and something of an unworldly time warp at th...

Somewhere I have a copy of J E Morpurgo's book on Barnes Wallis, that i got both of them to sign when they were at Hertford one Speech Day. Wonder where I put it?
