So glad to see all those images and her words too. The roof bosses in particular were astounding. From Norwich, presumably. How very appropriate for our present times!
I’ve seen many presentations on local history but none has offered quite the richness and complexity of your Julian series of words and pictures. Powerpoint presentations are more limiting presumably. I’ve even given a few of those in my time to local groups. I think websites are improving fast now that we can’t legally meet. I’m contributing to two sites at the moment – one is the history society pages on the wheathampsteadheritage.org.uk website. We’ve just discovered the site of burial of John of Wheathampstead during renovations at St Albans Abbey, so one of my contributions there is on his life. http://www.wheathampsteadheritage.org.uk/history-society-research.asp If you click on the local research button you’ll see several articles by members of our society.
We got our place on a parish council website, so it’s not brilliant, but at least it’s there. We add to it every month. The Bulletins are usually handed out at meetings, now but we’re still publishing them...
Keeps us busy!
Thanks again for sharing your interest in Julian of Norwich. I am totally impressed.

I thought that I had sent these photos to the Archives at QE but if not, they will bring back some memories. I notice that Val M. is obviously doing all the drinking!!
I often wonder what happened to Anne Newcombe, Hilary Hubbard and Carrie Watling with whom I lost touch. Also, the lovely Barbara Walton?
I was a chalet maid with Janet Windeatt at a Pontins holiday camp in 1963 and we write at Christmas.
As Maggie says, we were lucky to have had such good school friends. Most people I tell are amazed that so many old girls keep in touch!
