I do remember the Golden Egg! What replaced it, I wonder?

I heard a bit of this https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:bbc_radio_fourfm Helena Bonham-Carter talking about Nolly.

I had a recipe ages ago (which I made) for a Bournvita malt loaf.

Quite eerie.

I would have liked one. I did have a Triang tricycle.

It looks so elegant.

Thanks Lady P. I assumed it was open because they don't seem to be doing the online lectures they started during lockdown.

I thought it had been open recently? I don't live in Birmingham now, so perhaps misunderstood.

I don't think I ever went there, but wish I had.

How interesting. The 'uptairs,downstairs' type of division is a bit shocking.

It sounds fabulous.

I read it a long time ago, when books like this were available in public libraries.

There's a very short clip here https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/a42131869/helena-bonham-carter-nolly-first-look/

Was it Miss Griffiths, perhaps?

Mr King was still there in 1965 when I started, and I remember making lino cuts with him.

Who could forget Mr Chippendale and Mr Gillette?

Miss Windsor was one of my favourite teachers.

Mr Cherry didn't teach me but I knew him. He married Miss Windsor and they had two boys, I think.

Maisie was another name my cousin used to mention. I can't remember when Audrey retired, but probably in the 1980s. At her funeral several years ago I met Emily (I think it was Emily).

My father's cousin used to work there, if I've got the right place. Her name was Audrey and she worked with Iris, Olga and Emily. She used to talk about Mr Tim (that was how he was known). There was also Reuben.
