Pam and Bob - and very proud (December 2008) to have been awarded my BSc (Hons) Geosci (Open) - photo to follow when we have the graduation ceremony!

Sisters, sisters - never were there such devoted sisters! Here's a cut and paste job - all pics from Feb 02

Almost 50 years between the photos - you would never have guessed?!

We went up on the Penang Hill Railway

 

 March - but which year?!
I thought I would add a few pictures from my childhood - this is Penang Hill  Penang - my fourth birthday, or thereabouts
The whole battalion on board the troop ship from Singapore to Beira Ginny and me
Christmas on board the troopship Empire Halladale, somewhere in the Indian Ocean - if I look miserable, it's because the tinsel on the dress was itchy! Going to school in Lusaka - green dresses and cardies, with a brown hat
I was Little Red Riding Hood - but I was very jealous of Ginny's cigarette girl outfit! 

Fancy dress on the Capetown Castle - the journey took two weeks from Capetown to Southampton via Madeira - the train journey from Lusaka to Capetown took four days and three nights - two engines on the train, one at each end

 I got the pram as a birthday present, but it mostly lived at my grandmother's house

In the garden in Schönau with Ginny and my doll's pram - those were always the best holidays and best weekends!

Always difficult to find a lipstick to go with this outfit -

Here I am, safety auditing at Gascoigne Wood

 Holding tight so I wouldn't lose him!

Who's this handsome feller who's elbowed his way into my life?  (above) Fancy meeting you here!  It all started in Scarborough.
