OH DEAR ME! THE THINGS WE DO!!!!!




Thursday 6 May 2010

Pip was always a happy camper - nothing seemed to get her down - and I think she is still the same! She always loved Snoopy, and the tattoo she has is a testament to it. Pip dreamed her way through life and suffered at the hands of a rather over-confident big sister. (Sorry Pip, for all you had to endure......the slaps and boots, the verbal abuse, not forgetting the time I left you in the rafters at our uncles's farm above an aberdeen Angus bull....and the time I whacked you and split your tongue......Blimey......what a baggage I truly have been)
School wasnt your strongest point. Time working in hotels, as a nanny in California, other bits and bobs, a long term dental nurse finally lead you to heading for university where you qualified as a hospital theatre practitioner! GO GIRL!
The rest is history. A few dodgy boyfriends...we all make mistakes......and finally a marriage that ended you found Mark and have set off to NZ for a big new chapter!
Pip was known for her bright red h air....and has obviously spent her life trying to disguise herself......as you will see from all the pictures!! Here are a few of our childhood memories!
With cousins, Christmas day, in the garden at Eaton Road, Ilkley.
Those "happy" days before our parents separated!
