This was taken at Limpsfield C of E Infant School summer fete. Pretty sure this is the summer of 1976, because the grass up on the cricket pitch/common is completely parched! When did it last look like that? Do you recognise yourself in the photo?
From my very hazy memory, L to R are (I think): Angus Brown, Nicci Parry, unknown boy, Victoria Wilton, Caroline Elson, Samantha ??, me (Sophie Martin) and Will Turtle! Can you fill in the gaps?!
Gorgeous skies this evening, the last day of November. Out with autumn and in with December and winter – and more of the very low temperatures and frosts to come. Brrrr it was -5°C this morning in Limpsfield and it never got above +5°C. Even the fish man at Memorial Stores didn’t really need his ice this afternoon!

Who remembers shops on Limpsfield Chart?
I rode my bike up Trevereux Hill to the little shop on Post Office Row (think possibly after Joyce had gone although I’m sure it was still called Joyce’s)… Before that was the post office and shop, there was an actual post office on the corner (main picture).
