Chris Capel and I both attended Forches Cross County Primary School in Barnstaple, Devon, where we passed the eleven plus before moving on to Barnstaple Boys Grammar School in September 1961. I was only there for two years until my family moved down the county to Exeter, the capital city. After Hele's School I moved up north to university and stayed there for the next 40 years before emigrating to Spain. So I haven’t seen Chris or most of my Barnstaple schoolmates for 47 years. I visited a couple of them, Trevor Hill and Geoffrey McEvansoneya, on a trip through England a couple of years ago, but that’s been it. Next month, however, that will be rectified, when I attend the BGS Class of 61 School Reunion in Barnstaple and nearby Saunton Sands. Will they recognise me? I doubt it; then I was skinny, now I'm not, but I’m looking forward to it immensely.

Proof that I was once slim arrived in my inbox today from an old school chum I’ve not seen since 1963! It’s a photo of us both at primary school – knobbly knees and all - taken the year we went off to grammar school. I’ve never seen the photo before! But it proves that I was skinny once – when I was 11!
