It was fifty years ago this week that I became a Marian and went to the funky new buildings at Mayfield to begin my career at Queen Mary’s Grammar School.
It was one of the defining events of my life.
In Form 1Z with Mr Philips, I was to meet Paul T and Steve T, and Malcolm W who would become life long friends. We learned how to conjugate latin verbs, to compose a lecturette and make a scrummage and very soon we would be packing our bags for Merioneth.
