Rosebud with Gyles Brandreth

More Rosebud... Gyles's diary, episode 5: the second half of 1961 - Gyles's first term at Bedales.

Another foray into Gyles's schoolboy diaries today, and this time it's the second half of 1961. In this chapter we find out what happens when Gyles starts at his new secondary school, Bedales, a pioneering liberal arts boarding school near Petersfield in Hampshire. How will Gyles cope with the ardous programme of 'outdoor work' which is part of his new timetable? Will he get a girlfriend? What will his new teachers make of him? Gyles and Harriet discuss all this and more... and they uncover the identity of a mysterious coat which has been at Gyles's house for over twenty years. Enjoy this.
