I think I must go looking for it...<br />It is surprising what scenes in a film or kind of music will sometimes "get" to me and have me in tears. This has become more unpredictable since Steve's death. Some of the triggers have to do with him, but by no means all of them.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-45101159162286167092016-05-18T17:55:15.569+01:002016-05-18T17:55:15.569+01:00Cro your comment about Sally Thomset surprised me ...Cro your comment about Sally Thomset surprised me because, as you say she looked really young. She was born in April 1950 so would have been 19/20 when the film was made. Quite remarkable. Her career output seems to have been very prolific until the 1970s and she appeared in several series up until 1978 and never made another appearance on screen. Whether she went on stage I don't know.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-42178778040141033352016-05-18T17:49:05.347+01:002016-05-18T17:49:05.347+01:00It is indeed Kate.It is indeed Kate.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-19672076469091031812016-05-18T17:48:39.876+01:002016-05-18T17:48:39.876+01:00Absolutely YP.
