Mrs Bhambri-LyteMy name is Mrs Bhambri-Lyte and although you have known me since September, I am, perhaps, going to surprise you with a few facts about myself.Early LifeI was born just north of London in 1969, 19 days after the first man set foot on the moon. My parents are Darrell and Susan; unusually, my father was born in Turkey and my mother, in Wales. We soon moved to Essex to be nearer family and here I created my first memory: finding a swede in the corner of the field next to our house. Swedes are not very nice to eat, in my view, but at the age of three, I thought it was fascinating. A year or so later, we moved to Suffolk with my one year old sister and I began school in a building with a thatched roof. My headteacher was called Mr Fletcher and he wasn’t very nice at all. We were all afraid of him and one day, when he was teaching us in Year 6, he ordered one of my classmates to close the window. Now, this window was high up and you needed a very long pole to close it. The poor boy wobbled and wavered, trying to close the window with the pole that was about six times as big as himself. Irritated, Mr Fletcher lost patience, snatched the pole with the words, ‘oh, give it here boy’ and…put the pole straight through the window. We laughed and laughed.HobbiesWhen I was a child, my two favourite things to do were observing wildlife and playing music. I was very lucky, as my grandmother owned a small meadow. I loved nothing more than playing in the long grass, quietly watching partridge, rabbits, butterflies and mice. My dad was very good at the piano, though he always denied this, as he couldn’t read music. He encouraged me to play music, which led to me learning the piano, tenor horn, clarinet and saxophone. I still play the last two, today, though quite badly. FoodI love food and am a vegetarian. I like the taste of meat, but haven’t eaten it for over 30 years, purely because I don’t like the idea of asking animals to die, so that I can eat them. I don’t even wear leather. I love chocolate, particularly with nuts in and love halloumi too. I always joke that I would sell my children for halloumi, which isn’t true. The most disgusting thing I’ve ever eaten (before I was vegetarian) was an oyster; it tasted like salty jelly. Yuk.Interesting Facts about Mrs Bhambri-LyteMy first ever car was an Austin A35, which is the same car that Wallace and Gromit drive. It was pale blue and the indicator was like a big switch in the middle of the dashboard. My father’s family used to live in Turkey and my great great grandfather was the only white man allowed to touch the Turkish Sultan, without getting his head cut off. He was his tailor and so he was allowed to touch him, because he needed to measure him for new clothes. I once worked in a circus for six months. I was a stilt-walker.So, you thought Mrs Bhambri-Lyte was just a boring old teacher, who thought up cruel and mean ways to torture school children, think again. ................
