I was lucky enough to have lunch with an ex student and her husband a couple of weeks ago. I taught her in my Yr 6 class 17years ago! She has been living overseas in France, England and now, Tortola. Her husband is a lawyer and the corporation he worked for, transferred him overseas. They are lucky indeed, to have been able to travel so extensively, and their tales are truly fascinating. I still see the little 11year old girl's eyes twinkling when I talk to her. Such a funny thing...she was one of three girls in that class who had a 'sleepover' for two nights at our home. It was Christmas Eve when the girls went home and I could hear two of them asking if they could stay another night. lol. We lost touch for a few years when a call came for me at the school I was working in. Lauralee had had a dream and remembered the name of the school I'd moved to! We met up again and have been in touch for years since. Thanks to fabulous Facebook, I get to keep in touch with 'Lolly' as I've always called her, and many other dear ex students. Here we are at lunch. LOVED that leather jacket she was wearing...France or Venice...can't remember which....witch! lol
