Going Back In Time

Excuse me while I take a trip back in time. Feel free to skip this post, but if you are bored carry on this might take a while. One of the reasons why I am a bit over the top with my camera and take pictures of EVERYTHING is because I don't have many of when I was growing up. A couple of Christmas's ago my Mum made me the best present ever and put together 2 scrapbooks of me growing up. We lost most of our childhood pictures in a house fire, and back in "those days" (lol, that makes me sound really old) people didn't take too many pictures anyway. I found these pictures on one of my friends face book albums, I was delighted to see them and the memories just came flooding back.

This is me and my bunny Rosie, I loved that bunny. Me and my friend Sarah would go down there everyday and take care of them (hers was Thumper), we would even take them for walks. I remember when Rosie had babies, I was so happy I cant remember how many she had but it was a fair few. Anyway me and Sarah got pretty attached and gave them all names, one day we went down there to check on them and someone had open the cage and let them all out. Our school was in the middle of trees and bushes so we didnt think we had a chance to get them back. We found Rosie pretty quick, she came running out of the bushes the same day. The miricle is we found ALL the babies over the next few days. Im not sure who did it or why but im still mad about it, we padlocked the cages from them on and it never happen again. Wow we all look so young, the girl on the far right is my very best friend Sharon. We had such a great time together, we were always up to something. In the spinny building tree houses or just messing around somewhere.
Check out my long socks, sexy!! We are just about to attend our history lesson with Mr Prince.(I hated him)
The front view our our boarding school "Broomham". This was the sight you would see when you first pulled up, I still remember the horrible feeling in my stomach.
We had a few ghosts at this school although none of them did any harm or were unkind, one of the ghost at the school called "The white lady" was seen many times going up and down stairs and walking across landings. I saw her only one time, and that was enough for me. Nobody ever saw her face just a light figure of a lady in a white dress walking away. Some of our class rooms.
Our courtyard was pretty big actually and just below this were the netball courts, I loved playing netball and I don't mind saying that I was pretty damn good at it too. We played other schools, and had a great time.
This is Cookie, she was one of my best friends although we didn't get to be "best" friends until we went up to Catsfield (the next school up)
This is Matron Kathrine, I don't remember her too much but I think she was pretty cool.
Matron Jo is below and she was the best, she was really young and actually liked being around us. She would invite us into her room for chats and she would always give us yummy treats. You were not allowed food in your room as a student so we thought this was pretty cool.

  1. Hehe, yeah I remember the good old days. Glad you liked the pics, such a shame there are not more. Apparently there is a broomham school reunion being organised in August this year.
