A very pretty lady

Last time I posted about my weekend in Bundaberg. On the Saturday, there was an open day at the school, with lots of displays and stalls. One lady was selling beautiful handmade dolls and bears and giving the proceeds to the school. Her work was gorgeous and I couldn't resist this pretty lady.

I have named her Grace. I had to get cross with her maker though; she wasn't charging enough for all the work and materials put into her dolls.

Back in business... sort of

I've been absent from blogland for a bit I know, no particular reason, just a bit distracted by other things going on around me. I have been reading other's posts... just not commenting much.
Anyway, I'm back... I think.
On the long weekend I travelled back in time... to my old high school, which is in its centenary year. I attended two high schools actually, Bundaberg was where I spent the last three years of secondary education. There were lots of events going on and it was fun catching up with former schoolmates.
This is the school now, it didn't look like this when I was there.

There's not much of the original building left and it's hidden behind new ones. This is the weather vane on the top of the old building.

Here I am, standing near my old home room.

Great weekend, and although the weather was a bit unpredictable, the rain held off for all the important things.

Day 29 - Blogtoberfest

Today I went back to the 60's.. sort of. I attended an open day to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the High School I went to in 1961-2. I was in the first group to start at the school. This is the uniform we wore then! Very glam!!!

Here is my class. That's me on the right in the row of three.

And this is me today (on the left) with two of my besties from way back when. We haven't seen each other for over 20 years!
