    This photograph is cut from a larger image taken at our 30-year school reunion lunch, so I apologise for the poor quality. (For more detailed information see my previous blog “bibbysmith” – “30-year school reunion” https://bibbysmith.wordpress.com/2015/09/26/30-year-school-reunion/) Quite an unusual start to my new blog, but the memory of Michaela Brown (as she was known by…
