The character Sheila, the Thief from animated 1980s series Dungeons & Dragons, wearing her trademark cloak of invisibility, and thigh-high leather boots. All in all a somewhat racy combination that doubtless had an effect on some young viewers and encouraged them to play D&D.

Many happy memories of walking up the Chew Valley path with my gran as a young lad, stopping every 10 metres to look back and catch my breath.

Is it because you're doing this with Creme Eggs?

Bedford School

I have asked my old school @bedfordschool.bsky.social to join in this project, as they are a BSA member. The Bedford School Roll of Honour is already transcribed here:

Great that it's in its original wooden box. Any chance the maker's mark has been painted over?

Two friends say pale pink and white. I cannot see anything but grey and light turquoise.

Hi Vera. I can send more details separately but in essence a friend will be in Krakow in April and is interested in on-the-ground resources there, rather than online. Paternal gt-grandparents named Cohen and Meister from the area, born c.1880, moved to London c.1900. Good archives to contact.

If you can get a good scan of the negative, at high resolution, it may work well to then open the scanned image in a separate program such as IrfanView (free, I have no links to it) and reverse the negative in there. For B&W images, at least. Good luck!
