Royalty!
In keeping with last week’s letter & my post ‘All the Queens Houses’, I have decided to continue the theme of Kings & queens now that Alphabe has reached letter ‘R’. This picture has been posted before. It is me with my dearest friend Trina on World Book Day dressed as the King & Queen of Hearts from Alice in wonderland!
She was a vital part of my headship as she was always there giving me support & encouragement. It helped that her door was just across from mine so we could have a conversation without actually leaving our rooms! Her role was School & Family Link Worker & she did just that but so much more. My school was in an area of high deprivation, low expectations & very few aspirations. It was Trina who made the parents believe in their children. She helped me spread the message that education & school were important & we certainly made great strides together.
I am still in contact with Trina. We meet up regularly for coffee & a chat. We don’t talk about the old days because they are gone & the school has & should move on. However, this picture is one of my favourites.
Now pop over to ‘Off on My Tangent’ to see some more ‘R’ posts! Go – now!
HI! I just wanted to pop back over to say thank you for stopping by! And is there any way to change your status in your profile, to show your blog address? It only shows those that you follow, but not your own, so it is hard to come back and find you.
Thank you so much!
Blessings & Aloha!
Not sure how I do that Maria! Do you know anyone with a WP.com blog who I could ask?
Love these pictures. What happy memories for the ‘pillow-case’ royalty!
This little visit for Alphabe-Thursday’s letter “R” really made me smile.

Those are some mighty big pillow cases! LOL! Just kidding. This is a sweet post!~Ames
