Time Passing

Happy Sunday!
I hope you are enjoying your weekend

The prompt today at 


Has been chosen for us by Bonita and it's

Time Passing 

Nothing says it more to me than another Birthday recently celebrated...


The older you get the more you wonder just where did all those years go ... How fast they pass
Seems it was not that long ago I was a shy little girl at primary school


...But that was more than 50 years ago ... half a century!
And the sweet blonde girl on my left is still my friend today ... 

The school was demolished and rebuilt about 10 years ago but not before ex pupils of all ages were invited back to take a last look


I'm on the right and my friend from the old photo is on the far left 
Time Passing ...

As you know I am very close to my Aunt who is coming up for 87 this March ... But she can still remember her school days in the Actors orphanage before she was evacuated to New York

Here she is (highlighted) enthralled by a visit from Noel Coward


Time sure does go fast ... Can it be 14 years ago my DH and I were married?


And when did my son get so tall?


(Christmas 2013)

...And why is it I see my Mum each time I look in the mirror?

I guess that's Time Passing ...

Come and link up with us this week at 



Till soon
