Of course, the REAL reason I didn’t agree with the school was the choice of uniform…

That is nothing short of gold! A very insightful view on single sex education. Wise beyond your years.

I’m sure mine was the same at that age.

No! It was really awful. I was a miserable introspective, spotty, hormonally charged teenager who’d just started having periods. It’s the very worst age to write a diary.

I wrote a diary once, aged 13 and three quarters. (c 1977/8 ) At the time I was a pupil at Tremough Convent – a miserable little girls school – which as you know is no more and Cornwall’s University Campus stands in its place

Most of the references were about the food. I found it again when I was in my 20s. I remember one entry went something like this: “Tonight we had cheese on toast, but it was so bad that Lizzie called it ‘rubber on bread’.” To think that I thought it was funny enough to record made me cringe so much that I threw it away.

I think it’s fabulous and what beautifully modulated tones reading it. Wish my daughter spoke like that! I’ve kept a diary without missing a single day since Jan 1983 when I was 13. The weight of my years is now buckling our bookshelves, but I’m so accustomed to recording daily events that I fear that the sense of life’s purpose would unravel without it. Also diaries are a most useful method for keeping ones prejudices in good repair!
