without sounding too cheesy , we could have had that song for Rosie ,and the answer would have been ‘yes’.

I’ve thought of another one -” Fill the World with Love ” from ‘Goodbye Mr Chips’ .It was Mr Chips’s school song and Jane and I used to love it . When we sang it , she always had the Petula Clarke role and I was always Peter O’Toole ( a bit like the Julie Andrews/ Christopher Plummer …. Julie Andrews /Dick van Dyke roles ) .I never got to be the lead , oh except sometimes in ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ was I was allowed to be Topol’s Character and she sang the parts of one of his pretty daughters . Not that i’m bitter ! We loved musicals …which leads me on to last night’s one – Privates on Parade …brilliant .Simon Russell Beale was amazing ,camp,funny,happy,sad- he lit up the stage . Now I have to sing on my own ,I can be him -but it’s just not the same .
