I have never:
Driven a car
Ridden a bike
though did make an attempt at both a long time ago....
Am somewhat struck dumb by what is considered ordinary. Skiing? What's that? Does "never done a parachute jump" or "never walked on hot coals" count?

This letter brings back a host of memories - I was going to stay with one of my best friends, Margaret Wells, and the weekend was to include my first (only?) proper grown-up dance. In some sense, a sort of passage from childhood parties with jelly and balloons to an occasion where I might actually d...

I am very much hoping that I can secure some funds from the Australian Grape and Wine Research Development Council (who are partially funding my PhD) to attend a conference in Beaune and then visit wineries in the South of England. If this comes off, I hope to visit Alex among many other friends th...

Caroline - are you going to see Alexandra or is she coming to see you? Have you kept in touch all this time - if so, that's wonderful! Today's letter is less about CH than about GCH, from my friend Caroline who'd moved on, but I still think it's a nice one. I'd spent some time with her and her frien...

No villain- have you read Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey? Poor Richard was a lovely fella, but I don't think I would have argued the point with Miss Page at Hertford. Actually, Fanny Page gave me this book as she liked it so much.... This quote didn't come out properly and I can't remember who w...

Just for a change, one from an ex-member of staff - Miss (?) Coveney, who had been wardmistress for 8's. Does anyone remember her (or the two Pamelas she met at the theatre)? My, as usual, rather vague memories, picture her as a rather quiet, mousey person, who did her best to make us ladylike in ou...

Thanks for info about printing from old negatives - I'll search around for a place that can do it. Next letter covers the thorny position of people who left CH to go to other schools. I kept in touch with at least two of them but, as you can tell from the contents, our usual attitude was somewhat ho...

These are so interesting that you really should consider some sort of publication. How many are there? I think they're interesting, too! But I am wondering how they would best be put together. I haven't counted them, or even attempted to sort them (hence the double coverage of some things like Spor...

This must be Easter 1960, from the comments about Ann Mac and EPC. They were two of the 3 Senior VI in 6s in my first year. There were dire comments about EPC deserting her cricket team by leaving then - I never saw her play cricket, so can't comment about that. I remember Ann went on to do medicin...
