Our prompt for this week's inchie is
The Past.
This had me remembering my best friend Natasha.
We met at primary school aged five-
Tash was hanging upside down on the school railings.
We spent so much time together
& were ALWAYS dressing up.
We were in a fancy hat competition
and wore our long dresses
& were photographed for the local paper.
Our dresses were were very like the
Kate Greenaway ones I've used in my inchie.
***
I've backed my inchie with a vintage
footpaths map
showing the village where we grew up.
We learned our
abc and sums together.
I've smudged some chalk on & some blue ink.
Cleaning the blackboard was considered a treat
and I remember getting our first
ink pens & getting inky fingers !
I've photographed my inchie
on the inside cover of an old school book.

Tash & me messing around
in the photo booth-
I'm the one in the silly headband !
( I plaited that out of three long scarves ! )
Great memories from
The Past
Thank you Fiona
