Julie Walters book.

Charlie

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
This has been out for some time, but I've only just caught up with it.
"That's Another Story" the autobiography of Julie Walters follows her childhood at Bishopton Road, Smethwick (Bearwood), through to St. Pauls RC School in Edgbaston, Holly Lodge Grammar School, nursing at the QE and the General and on to her stage training and career in films and theatre. It's a really funny yet poignant book and well worth reading.
 
I have kept meaning to read this book and then forget about it again :rolleyes: so thanks for the reminder. Whenever I see Julie Walters being interviewed or read articles about her I always think how naturally funny she is. I shall look in the library today.

Read it, loved it but a couple of minor proof reading errors let it down just a little bit. Nonetheless a cracking read.
 
I have also read this book, and i thought what a good read it was. I enjoyed her down to earth upbringing, and her mom always wanting better for her, but the funniest extracts were of her granny who had Dementia eating her egg with the coal tongs. My mom also suffered Dementia and some of the things she did were so comical with out laughing at her and the sadness that goes with this illness. Also i liked the information about her mom & dad meeting in the LEE-BRIDGE TAVERN the pub my mom and dad used .
