Hi Everyone,
I am very excited about being part of the Rosalie Writers Festival this year. I have two new books coming out, but I will only be able to show you one of them at the Festival – Miss Llewellyn-Jones – because my other one, Black Jack Anderson, won’t be finished until the beginning of June. Never mind. Next time, maybe?
There is another reason why I love coming to Rosalie Primary School.
Both my mother Emily (Bonnie) Ives and my father, Russell Chandler, went to school there in the 1920s when the school was still quite new.
There was no grass and the pavilion classroom had blinds, but no windows – it was just like a big, enclosed veranda.
Some of my aunts, uncles and cousins went to Rosalie, too. There are at least three paving bricks in the rose garden with the names of my Chandler, Logan and Kelly relatives on.
Let me know if you can find them.
Bye for now.
Elaine Forrestal
