Why me?
I've wanted to go to boarding school since I was a little girl as my mother went to one, and I would like to experience life in the 1950s.

What did you get out of going back in time last summer?
It was one of the most rewarding learning experiences I will ever have the pleasure to be involved in, a deep insight into the changes in education. It also taught me that, although we all had the same, there were still prejudices as to who was better than who and that it existed then also.
