Top of the morning everybodies:)

My dad used to call them Gorgeous Gussies. Unfortunately when I started playing tennis my mum made me some. They had about 6 rows of lace all over them. I think the idea was that if people were going to see your undies (due to wearing a very short tennis dress) then they might as well be spectacular !!

Thinking of those disgusting square pleated uniforms winter ones in a prickly serge where the pleats had to be tacked together to iron them........thick stockings  and of course no jewellery at all not even a cross:(

I wouldn't say my school uniform was totally awful however I am scarred for life. Growing up in Melbourne, imagine having to wear a skirt in winter !!!!! How ridiculous. Thank god the girls nowadays are allowed to wear nice warm trackpants.

Also, playing tennis we were not allowed to wear our trackpants on the court. When playing you had to wear just the dress and a jumper. What a joke!! Having bare legs sometimes in 5 degrees if it was a cold morning. But they boys were allowed to wear long pants of course.

I hardly ever wear a dress or skirt these days.

Anyone remember the huge breakfasts our grandparents used to have?

I remember my grandmother cooking up bacon, eggs and tomatoes for my grandfather in the early mornings and then cooking bread in the bacon fat for him.

How did they survive?

Gosh it was yummy 🙂

Oh I remember them well JV but then my school changed the uniform and instead we had sort of flat grey serge uniforms with a straight skirt and not pleats or anything... a V neck and sleeveless of course.

Gosh they were awful 😞

ahhh, bread fried in dripping. yum. We always had that for breakfast if we stayed at our Grandma's house. Not sure if I would like it now though.
