I'm also in this picture, 1st row 4th from right. I remember you Andrew. This picture brings back so many happy memories of my childhood! I was best friends with Suzanne Turner and Katherine Wrigley.

Hi Andrew! Great to hear from you! I'm actually between Gary and I think it's Pauline???? Can't remember her name. Not sure.
Faye is in the row behind me second on the left between Gail Williamson and David Richardson. How's life? Still living in North London?

And with the blink of an eye.....I'm 58 years old! Life was so much better then! Not because we were young (well maybe :-)) but because there was none of this craziness going on in the world! Society as we know it no longer exists....I'm just glad I grew up in the 70's/80's and not now....

Yes, our senior years approach, but much love for my formative years. Flash back, to a song I heard on the radio just recently. Paul McCartney - Mull of Kintire, suddenly remembered the Diane's made up their own lyrics to the Song. This during a school trip to Dorset and can recall sitting on Maiden Castle eating packed lunch, with the Diane's belting out Mouse of Kintire - Happy Times

Hahahaha! The good old days! Yes, the Diane's and Elizabeth were highly entertaining! I remember the play we did, "Long (Katherine Wrigley), Stout(Me) and Sharp eyes (Suzanne Turner) and the Diane's and Elizabeth were "Commas!" I still have the performance sheet! WOW! a million years ago.

Do you still live in North London?
