I try to re-read the Abbeys and the Chalets annually, don't always manage to get through both series in the same year. I've completed the Chalets, but a very long way to go with the Abbey books.<br /><br />I just wish that EJO had made the Geraldine in Girls of the Hamlet Club a nicer person - more like me, giggle.<br /><br />Still I do have EBD's "Gerry Goes to School" to fall back on, though I never, ever shorten my name to Gerry.Geraldinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-69931682848858372892009-12-01T08:44:14.337+00:002009-12-01T08:44:14.337+00:00Ooh, how intriguing.

M V is also mentioned in some of the books in the "Abbey" series and towards the end of the series, Marguerite's niece (Miss Verity) becomes the French teacher at the Wycombe based school.Geraldinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-68590955506004290912009-11-25T11:23:08.196+00:002009-11-25T11:23:08.196+00:00Sakura - yes, I remember that as I learned a song ...Sakura - yes, I remember that as I learned a song at school using your name!<br /><br />Sophie - of course, the BFG!<br /><br />Darlene - I didn't know that about "Ken" - usedto be a big Corrie watcher.<br /><br />Claire - VerityAnn is only in the later books...verityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825551404394913715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-14275913838081325202009-11-25T11:17:17.770+00:002009-11-25T11:17:17.770+00:00I forgot all about Verity-Ann in the Chalet School...I forgot all about Verity-Ann in the Chalet School!

If you haven't read the David Roberts series I do recommend it.

It is great that you enjoyed it too. I'm sure I've come across a few books with Veritys in - unfortunately I can't remember which ones now.
