Double - Reunion, 25th Oct 2006 & 28th April 2007

Following the meeting with John O'Sullivan, John Ker & Theo Lemos in London's Tottenham Court Road on an extremely wet evening, back in October 2006, we met again at the end of April 2007, this time at 38 Eton Avenue, NW3, but this time with the addition of Janine Sachs, a former weekly boarder, who left in 1964 but still used to visit Jean Bennet at her house in Beckley, Kent. She was also onboard the Devonia in 1965 for the school cruise to Tangier, Madeira and Vigo, a memorable holiday for may reasons, which I too was on.

Photos below are from Oct 2006, followed by the Apr 2007 ones

On the way to back to Swiss Cottage, for some dinner, we again passed the school, where the current penthouse owner, noticing our interest in the old place, kindly invited us in, to look round the old playground, which has changed from pot-holed tarmac, to a charming garden.

Looking towards the backs of 38 &40, some of the space between the buildings now filled by a lift shaft.

There is 39 years between the two!

After this, the five of us enjoyed dinner at a cute Italian restaurant on the North side of Finchley Road, and did some serious reminiscing
