Mr. Lee didn’t like me – he was always smacking me on the back of the legs on a chair (after being caught talking again)- but I loved both Mrs.Morgan and Mrs.Bigwood. Mr.Saunders frightened me, his voice was so loud and Mr.Hanson was lovely too. His daughter Jennifer and I had the same piano teacher at home. There were others I can’t quite remember their names but they all stand out in one way or another.
