We sat and swang on the swing singing the alphabet repeatedly. It was such an achievment for two little girls, learning all 26 letters, in order, in song, that we wanted to share our achievment with everyone, for the next 6 hours, or untill bedtime. Needless to say, everyone else was quite fed up with us by then, but it didn't lessen our achievment. These days I go out with a lovely boy called James who can do the alphabet backwards. He learnt it as a child because he thought it would make him magic! I remember learning the alphabet… my best friend Tessa and I learnt it in the garden one golden summer’s day in about 1986.

Finally my teacher told me I'd hit my ceiling and couldn't get any better (not in a good way). I can still play a sea shanty so the joke's on her. I played the violin for 7 years, from age 8.
