Ive always loved singing right from an early age.

We sang lots of folk songs in school from all regions of the UK. I enjoyed them all especially a whacky one called The Great Meat Pie. I thought Id dreamed it, but found it on the internet some time ago.

At senior school we had hymn practice once a week and the best time was practicing the unusual carols from the Oxford Book of Carols. I love 'Quelle est cette odeur agreable'.

I taught in Croydon in the early 70s and thoroughly enjoyed singing songs with the children. I expect they now cant face 'Puff the Magic Dragon', and 'The Fox went out one chilly night'.

I also enjoyed the BBC Time and Tune programmes. I had a whole collection of the books when they were being cleared out of the cupboard at the school. Dont know where they are now. Anyone remember - 'In my fathers garden the Lortils are at play' to the tune of 'Auprès de ma Blonde'?

Guess what... Time and Tune is still going strong...
