In memory of.....

September 13th, 1999, was the day I lost my mentor, friend, confidant and most of all my Mum.

Remembering you everyday......

Photo taken in the late 50's, a sewer from way back, where I got my skills from. My older brother Edward helping mum sew.

The weekend - mango's and christmas party's

Christmas party's, mango picking, thinking about Christmas.......

I love this time of year, not because it's Christmas, but because MANGO's are in season.....  yummy....... and these are all ours to eat.... Reds, Bowens and some kind of banana shape ones too.

We also had a couple of Xmas party's, one was scouts, and the other was with Michael's yoga club, the trainers are off to India to teach.  It was fancy dress and so is Michael and I

and the trainers

Troy made his costume, he did a great job....
