How time flies

Met up with some lovely ladies today - who I started working with in Sept 1997! they have all retired (early retirement from teaching in most cases) and they look jolly well on it too! 
J here has had a big birthday recently so we were out celebrating. Bit of trauma trying to find parking in Harrogate meant the youngest spring chicken (me) nearly had a coronary/blew a gasket, but all ended well.

Soon after this shot was taken the balloon was snatched back by the tearooms. They had given it to the wrong 60th party. Not to worry, to make up for it they gave her a dozen pink princess balloons!
