I took a trip over to Morpeth in Northumberland to meet for the first time in 30 years (30!!!!!!) some girls who were in my form at school. Plus one whom I had seen more recently: 1980 when we graduated from the same university. Only one of the group had I been in touch with regularly over the last three decades. It was an amazing experience – and absolutely fascinating – but the most surprising thing was that I’d have recognised all but one of them in the street.

Wendy, Karen, Jo, Louise, Sarah
30 years?!?!?!? No way. Of course no one actually looks more than 30, so I can’t see how that can be possible.
Still, very brave, and glad it was a success.
