Just watched Georgy Girl - you'll all doubtless be aware that Margaret Forster, on whose novel it was based and who also co-wrote the screenplay, died a few days ago 
It's a cracking film. It really depicts the nature of life for young women around the mid-1960s, from Georgy (Lynn Redgrave) being offered the mistress contract by her father's boss with her father's implicit approval to Meredith (Charlotte Rampling) being looked at by the other women in the maternity ward when she rejects her baby.
And, of course, The Seekers singing the theme song ♫
I must have been four years old when that song was on the radio enough times to get lodged in my brain. I still love it
And I must have been about twenty-five when I first saw the film. It was when Deborah and I were living by Spinney Hill Park, and it was on one night when we came home from the pub. We loved it
So, overall, there's a lot of happiness in my life associated with that film. Rest in peace, Margaret Forster, and thank you for all that happiness
