Another milestone

Our girl Ella has just finished off a great final year at College - no more secondary schools for her! She's heading out to the big world now: part time work in retail for the next little while, then more study in the future. Last night she celebrated her Year 12 Formal - with all the fun of dressing up to the nines and making a splash on arrival, while handling the pain of unaccustomed killer heels for the duration.

We were lucky enough to see her (and her friends) all dressed and ready for the event.

It was so lovely to see Ella looking so happy and relaxed, as gorgeous on the outside as she truly is on the inside!!

Abi still has a few years to go to her end of school celebrations - but it will come quickly enough!

We followed the car as Joshy drove them to the venue at Old Parliament House. Once at the venue it was slow progress for the drop off cars - most of which were stylish older muscle cars and classics, some overheating under the strain of all the revving and idling.

Joshy's beautifully restored Holden VK retained her grace under pressure (of course) while being suitably impressive in its (powerful and noisy) engine revs.

Ella and her friends all made it safely home after last night's festivities, which is always the main concern of us oldies. We'll enjoy hearing all the details in the coming days!
