And I could see Nell in you as well.

But you and Nell look very, very similar.

Same body shape and just that energy that shines out.

And it really, really made me think of Nell.

But also I could so see that you were there just loving it, like entertaining everybody, which is what you do now.

Carrie and I were laughing because there's us doing a dance routine at the front of the class and then half the class are just carrying on doing their own thing like, oh, here they go again.

Some other performance we're going to have to endure, you know, and just stupid, ridiculous, childish behaviour.

And I just would like to apologise to anyone who had to do it.

to teach me for being such a dick at school but years later you sort of when you learn about ADHD and all that sort of concentration stuff and focus problems and I've seen it in my own kids I'm like oh right yeah that's probably why that was it I just couldn't concentrate and I couldn't write I found it hard to write things down in huge paragraphs and stuff but it was a joy to see and it was quite funny how many people

had seen the photographs and thought that they were their own school photographs because they just brought back so many of the memories of those days.

And I love those girls.

So I'm going to try and meet up with more of them because I've never been to a school reunion.

Have you done one?

Yeah, I did one a few years ago and it was lovely.

There were not that many people that I hung around with.

I went to a local comp and I moved there when I was about 13, which is never a good time, I don't think, to start at a new school.

So I lived in town, gone to school there, had all my friends and then we moved up to the countryside, started the comp and I never got over that feeling of being an outsider.

I just felt like I was joining and everybody had already made their friendship groups.

So I had a very small friendship group who were, like you say about the name, there was Jill Whipp, there was Barbara Woodward, there was Lynn Parker, who I loved, who's no longer with us, but God, she was an amazing character.
