Janet wrote 'The Kings Men' during the first week of learning the recorder. She found it difficult to hold the recorder and despite her paralized right hand curling round the base of the recorder, it only took her a week t learn all the notes in the green recorder book one. Mrs. Hamilton and Mr Lyon were so surprised at Janet's resourcefulness e they decided to teach her composition. Mrs Hamilton had an old piano put in her classroom; it had been donated to the school by a well wisher as soon as Bert's advertisment for instruments ad been advertised in the local paper, the Walthastow Guardian. Janet started composing straight away.
Bert Lyon formed a string quartet as soon as the children began to learn string instruments. There was Pat Bowser, 1st violin and who went on to lead the Wingfield orchestra- becming the first of Hale End Road's pupils to attend Trinity College of Music.

A concert Loyd's Park. The orchestra always played my compositions. There were various solos by the disabled youngsters and the concerts were attended by the prominent people of the borough such as councillors and the mayor and mayoress. I remember a particular councillor, Cllr Pringle, who attended every concert and gave speeches along with businessman Reginald Gould on the Club's behalf. Those were thhe days! Reg had three children in the cluib, one who was disabled, Denise Gould-her sister was Deidre who played the clarined. Denise played the drums
Below are Janet's grandparents, Alice and Harry Cattier, in the garden with Patch at 61 Uplands Road Woodford Bridge. The M11 motorway was to 'swallow' the whole garden!

.Three year old Janet after her Aunt Vi and grandmother Alice got her walking by putting her against a wall and making her take her first steps at two and a half. Len and Ivy had gone away for the weekend cycling.
