That countryside brings back memories from almost 50 years ago!

My mother had a couple of friends who lived in Windrush, and she
occasionally spent a few days with them during the school holidays.
If I was prepared to drive down and collect her, she'd let me use
her car while she was away (a tempting offer for a sixth-former!).

I was only 17 or so at the time, with a typical schoolboy's ignorance
of what was going on outside my own horizons, so I was totally unaware
that just a few years earlier one of those friends - Joyce Lang - had
created something of a stir with a speech critical of comprehensive
education policy that was used as an excuse for a Times editorial
(although that editorial mis-represented Joyce's position). I only
discovered this long after I had left home.

They remained friends until my mother's death; Joyce came to the
funeral, although by that time (2009) she didn't often leave home.
