Summary

Another treat for you today, as Gyles carries on reading from his childhood diaries and discusses things with Harriet. In this chapter we join Gyles as he prepares to leave his prep school, Betteshanger, in Kent. Gyles performs in Twelfth Night, strikes up a friendship with the man who works the school boiler, becomes a prefect and spends his easter holidays being a waiter in a hotel in Bournemouth. Quite a busy schedule for someone who is only just 13! We hope you enjoy these diary episodes - we're getting a lot of great feedback - so I think you are! We're planning to carry on with the diary, in chronological order, on Tuesdays. If you'd like to write to us, please email [email protected]. We love hearing from you. And please remember to subscribe and to leave us a review on your podcast app, as that helps new listeners to find us. And keep on recommending us to any friends you think would also benefit from a bit of Rosebud in their life. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
