I just found this (a group photo of UIVR with Miss Rhodes.) Some of you have it, I know, but fun to look. They fill in some of our questions about who was in our class when. Lindy Summers still with us I see.

Hi - I hadn't seen that before (or at least not for a long while) and I am looking at faces of long forgotten companions.
Hair - now what a basic subject but for someone whose hair has always been fine and fly-away a problem. I had a ponytail for the early part of my years at QEGGS but for years have not done my own hair - until now. So I am armed with a new hairdryer, a can of volume mousse and a special brush + shampoo gratis at some hotel or other stayed over the years - I am actually not doing too badly and Karly my hairdresser phones for a chat once a week and tells me not to get too good at doing my own hair - but if the lockdown goes on too long I will be the proud owner of a new ponytail!
Just planted some dwarf beans and garlic today. Did we have a garden at school - and where was Miss Balaam's garden?
I really enjoy reading all the news and memories from a long time ago now!

Every email brings a new Pandora's Box to be opened and explored. So many memories. I love them but have been sadly deficient in some areas. Maggie's last day at school pics - who are all these folk? I can manage our current group, and a few other notables (such as Bernice), but there are loads of gaps. And even in Val's UIVR there are 3 or 4 I can't name. Who is that half missing off the bottom right? In fact, I fared better with the lovely staff photo, June 1958 I believe, and can find names for about three-quarters. I'm sure others can do much better. Thanks so much for sharing them.
