...heel, The Doobie Brothers, The Steve Miller Band and Steely Dan to name but a few? Such great music and such good times.
And so my first term at college ended, although my boyfriend and I had split up and it looked like I might be Kev’s new girlfriend. However, things at home were still going badly with my parents; one particular day in December they had a huge row and we were so scared we all ran upstairs to the old lounge on the first floor, including my mum! There we all sat crying and shaking while my dad banged on the door demanding we open it. The shouting and ranting went on for an hour or more while we huddled together wondering when...Becoming A Rock Chick! #17

And so my first term at college ended, although my boyfriend and I had split up and it looked like I might be Kev’s new girlfriend. However, things at home were still going badly with my parents and they finally split up just before Christmas with my mum and Piers staying with a neighbour. It was now down to me to cook the Christmas dinner! I hated cooking at the best of times (apart from scones and apple pies) and my dad hadn’t got a clue of course, like most men in those days! So what could possibly go wrong? We went into...Becoming a rock chick #16

...GHOSTBUSTERS! People were always coming to Hoar Cross Hall to either hire the place or to have a look around. In 1973, because of all the media interest in our ghosts, we had a couple of professional ghost hunters asking to stay over one night to try and find the source of the noises. They brought cases full of recording equipment and set it all up in one of the attic rooms. Rather them than me I thought! Then I had a brilliant idea and went off to tell my brother Gavin all about it. As mentioned in my first blog the attic and basement had a row of bells which the family used to summon the servants. Before the three men arrived we spent all...The haunting of Hoar Cross Hall #15

Suddenly she looked up and realised how dark it was getting; the December nights were pulling in and it was already quite dusky by 3.30pm. Quickly she packed her books and folders away and prepared to go downstairs. How she hated being up in the a...
