Thanks for sharing it with us. I love the girls fabric for her dress!

They’re all beautiful!

I think childrens milestones always make us wonder where the time went, Ellee. Your boy looks splendid, I’m so glad they are both doing so well. You must be so pleased and proud.

WW, yes, I had to hire the necktie and handkerchief to match his partner’s dress.

JMB, James is leaving this school, but going to study for his A’levels in Cambridge as this school is not a sixth form college.

Curmudgeon, our prom season is always towards the end of summer term. It was a fantastic night.

Prom season certainly comes late in Britain; in the U.S. it comes in May, usually, just before the end of the school term.

It’s always nice to see that one’s children are doing well. Congratulations.

Ah the youth of today! Actually I think that is hilarious. Prom at 16, he must be very young to be leaving school. It’s 18 here.

Yes, a great age Ellee. There’s a certain amount of freedom one experiences too at 16. At least this was the feeling for me at that time! ALL MY BEST!!!!!
