The Beatles at Stowe is the gift that keeps on giving in 2023! Much of it is thanks to Samira Ahmed, my favorite new Beatles historian. She has done a report on the two girls that met the Beatles and had a meal with them at the tuckshop, and I can't wait to hear it! She shared the color photo and the autographs on Twitter along with this information:
"It wasn’t us screaming,” They think it might have been some of the boys. The wonderful Stowe tuckshop girls Maggie & Jan. Not enough places so had to take turns to sit at the table. With their scrapbook &a copy of their father’s tape made over dinner with the Beatles
Now I can't wait to learn more about these fans, Maggie and Jan! They took turns sitting at the table with The Beatles, but it looks like they got a seat next to Paul to share. And those autographs are great! This is the stuff I live for, you know?
Tuckshop - NOT Truckshop!! A shop, esp one in or near a school, where food such as cakes and sweets are sold.
ReplyDeleteoops -- autocorrect kept trying to change it to "truckstop" and I kept trying to change it back. But autocorrect one part way. Although I have to say that I have never heard of a tuckstop before this story. Something we don't have in the United States.
