to think all UK schools would be better off being Chalet Schools?

[quirrelquarrel]

French, German, English days- hikes up the hills- Kaffe und Küchen- Prees and Joeys and Mary Lous rounding up the miscreants.....would it be impossible, do you think?

Wonder if there is a school like this left!

The resemblance is unmistakeable!

Oh Hilda!

StickyProblem, you HAVE to namechange to Bill. Or Bill'sStickyProblem?

Where are all you chalet school loving people gone? I looooovvveee the Chalet School (although also find Mary Lou v. f-ing annoying) and I am trying to find more for my collection but it is getting harder, as all the common/popular ones I already have and the rest seem to be super expensive anywhere I look. I keep an eye out in charity shops, but it is rare to come across one nowadays.

Also sorry meant to say I never find any fellow CS lovers in RL (although I am actually too embarrassed to mention the fact that I like reading kids books... maybe that's why as judging by this thread, I am not alone...)

mopsytop do you look on www.abebooks.co.uk/ ? Keep an eye out and they often have out-of-print books at very reasonable prices (and sometimes at eye-watering prices..!!)

oh no I haven't looked there... thanks for the tip. I know girls gone by have some top but they're £13 each not including postage.
