I was so pleased and excited to read all about Lilo Blum. I used to ride at her stables in Grosvenor Crescent Mews in the 1950s. Robert Grigg and I used to have lessons with George Rigby every Sunday morning, we looked forward to it all week. Both of us loved riding Camille, but sometimes got to ride Dizzy instead. Dizzy was lovely, but a bit slow! You will remember Robert Grigg, Lilo, I am sure, he was Roy Grigg’s son, Landlord at The Grenadier. Old Barrack Yard has changed so much and the lovely block of flats where you used to live has now gone. As you say, things change. Thank you for those, wonderful and carefree days riding in Rotten Row.

I look forward to your next interview and hope you get to read this comment.

Very best wishes, Wendy Morrison

Lilo still retains the good looks from her past, the smile comes right from her eyes and her high cheeks are priceless dollar wise. She was very entrepreneurial from her refugee days a good business talent. Lived through WWII after being Blitzed by her fellow countrymen. Keep smiling nice lady.

What a wonderful lady! She fulfilled my dream-that-never-came-to-fruition at such an early age and n spite of family difficulties and location. I admire her so much.

Thank you for telling us her story and showing the beautiful photographs.

I suppose 1943 was a good year for some but it was not for my family
