    :clapping: Hi Katyjay, didn't we have a lovely time at the William Crane Re-union last Wednesday? It was great to see some faces I still recognised from years back.

    What a lovely, happy photograph you have sent me to remember the occasion.

    More than anything Kath, glad that you landed back safely. Lots of love, Christine xx

    PS: give my love to Jennifer if you are in touch with her...............

    :clapping:Katyjay, great that you made it to the 'William Crane Re-union' yesterday; all the way from Arizona - what a Surprise!

    I sat at a huge table surrounded by old school friends and past neighbours from Amesbury Circus - circa 1950's.

    Katyjay's brother managed to snap a photograph of myself engaged in an interesting talk with Gordon Beresford on the history of family surnames.

    PS: Katyjay, I gave Gordon details of 'Nottstalgia' - perhaps he may be joining us soon. Christine xx

    hellothere It would be great to meet up with old school friends at the 'William Crane Re-union' today.

    PS: Have to admit that my time spent at William Crane was pretty miserable; hard work all the way: Maths and English, Maths and English, Maths and English, not much time for music, not much time for dancing and no time at all for painting. Even so, a great school; gave we pupils Solid Learning to last forever......................

    hellothereBilbraborn, can't blame you for going back to live on Wigman Road, it's very central: lots of shops up on Bracebridge Drive, the Library and Health Centre, you can cut through to Wollaton and if you're feeling fit you could leave the car behind and walk into the City.

    I remember reading of Radfordred's move from Radford up to Bilborough: he hated it and soon moved to Wollaton (within walking distance of Radford) - I'm sure he won't mind me telling you this.

    hellothere Hi Jill - long time no communicate - thanks for reminding us of whips and tops.

    I remember buying mine around Shrove Tuesday; along with the delicious pancakes mum made at this time, it proved a double treat.

    Used to chalk designs on my tops; much preferred the mushroom ones, could never get a winder-breaker going -even though I tried and tried.........
