Six Bells

We all remember Jerry Green from Lord Bills? He remembers Cathy and Julian and has become an avid keeper upper with the blog and so I'll need to be careful what I say!
Anyway, he was a boarder at LWGS and as I mentioned before, he and I were among the last ones in our form in SHORT TROUSERS!!!! (and Neil Datson and Fenton Rae, and Stoker), at the age of THIRTEEN (oh the pain!). He had a long shock of hair (me short back and sides) and was one of the boarder reprobates with Pete Wynn. In Upper sixth moved into a caravan with Charlie Fairhurst in Charlie's back garden 3 doors up from the 6 Bells and after leaving school went round Europe on a train ticket with Judith Jowett before doing teacher training.
So we had a great time catching up on the last 35 years.
The names that came up you'll maybe remember?
David Cann was one and after I got home, Gemma had Eastenders on and there was David ( as a GP) giving Dot Cotton the all clear from something or other, which was odd because of what Jerry's had ie: the thumbs up after some treatment for bowel cancer-lurgy.
The only running advice I could offer was to get some decent shoes and run with someone who doesn't mind waiting for you at the end and then will drive you home, run you a bath and put a cup of tea and a sandwich in your hand!
So say cheerio to your toe-nails now keep up the good work mate!
Fay turned up too after visiting Stan Hayes so was able to chuck some more names into the pot. Apparently Norman Lilley is still fighting fit and is very active at St Mary's church. Kim Bostok is a little more matronly looking now and there has been at least one sex-change from my year (hardly surprising). Nona Hawkins-Smith is in Wheatley now and has set up some sort of church group! I put in about Auntie Joan and Stosh! Has anyone else been in touch via Friends-Reunited?
Anyway don't forget to go to the Roy Castle Foundation
I went this morning to sponsor Jerry but I then wanted the title of the London Marathon Theme to put in a little message.
Clicking on Google cut me off from the secure site but in case you don't know it's 'The Trap', by Ron Goodwin (Polydor records)
