Census meme, which is kinda fun.
Mar. 11th, 2011 12:49 am1961 if the census was in March (as this year's is), I probably wasn't walking yet, but living in Hong Kong and being carried about in a magnificent embroidered baby pouch on my mother's back, and being exceptionally cute (see icon).
1971 At boarding school in Bedford. I was nearly eleven, so second year of senior school. Why yes, I was a bit precocious, but I was a generously-built lass and nobody really noticed I was younger than all the boarders in the year below me, until weird stuff happened like, I wasn't able to do the Duke of Edinburgh award as I was too young to start with the rest of my year. (I eventually did some stuff for it with the second years, when I was a fourth year. They seemed very young.)
1981 Up at Cambridge, actually discovering that I enjoyed working on my studies, a bit belatedly as I'd be graduating that summer. Living in my beloved third floor room with one square window and one oval window, a rubbish bed and a fabulous scarlet couch. Seeing My Second Boyfriend.
1991 Here, with a Beast and two smallish brats (Bun four and a half, Boy nearly two). A bit terrified at the massive size of the mortgage, but very happy with the location. Running the Tuesday toddler group and member of the village association, with monthly meetings of great tedium.
2001 Here, with a Beast and two respectable sized brats. Free of village responsibilities but member of the musical committee, and beginning to learn about directing.
2011 Here, with a now-retired Beast; two brats no longer resident but may be returning depending on whether they can find jobs after they graduate this summer. Hmm. Attempts to shed musical society responsibilities not working very well so far.
