When I was quite young, because I dimly remember being childish about his name behind the grown-ups' backs. No idea who he was though.mighttp://letouttoplay.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-91354729050604153062012-12-19T21:44:31.684+00:002012-12-19T21:44:31.684+00:00The same to you, Helen.

Sorry to be picky, but I have to pre-empt TBW, especially as she's posting cryptic clues that I am totally failing to get.allotmentqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436822823840965550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-21988994784070927512012-12-18T22:46:28.128+00:002012-12-18T22:46:28.128+00:00It was when it was decided that evening classes ha...It was when it was decided that evening classes had to bear the full hourly cost of the college being open that they became unaffordable, until then the fee just covered the teacher and materials.<br /><br />The Sage enjoyed it too, as his earliest memories are of the time.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-41266690486552641682012-12-18T22:42:33.424+00:002012-12-18T22:42:33.424+00:00I watched that programme too, didn't intend to...I watched that programme too, didn't intend to but was drawn into it. My mother living in Richmond, Surrey was very grateful to my father's relations in Suffolk supplying rabbit, butter and other unavailable foodstuffs.<br /><br />Also, my mother and I went to evening classes together to learn to crochet, I keep the instructions for an American square, she wrote out, more for her handwriting than the crochet pattern.<br /><br />Here the incredible high cost of evening classes deters most, thank goodness for U3A to fill the gap.PixieMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14717092173188052675noreply@blogger.com
