Further photos of Steph's' graduation

Looking smart in the taxi

Tony and Kerry began this day with a drive to Chch starting at 4.30am, a van shuttle to take us to the airport from Craddocks, a parking business. then a place to Wellington, and a bus to Cuba St.
tony and I waited there for Steph, and she was in an interview in a coffee shop. I had forgotten about this, or did not realise that it would take so long.
We went into a record shop, and I bought a Gin Wigmore CD, and listened to an Anthony and the Johnson's one. We went to an Indian restaurant, and ordered some food, as we had already had a ong day, and were hungry. Steph caught up with us there, and ordered some food as well.
Steph did catch up with us Then we walked through town, and Steph looked for another pair of shoes in the No1 shoe Warehouse because the pair she had got earlier were too uncomfortable. She chose a lovely strappy pair which she was happy with, and some gel inserts to make them more comfortable. We walked to the train station, only to see the train we should have caught just pulling out of the station. So I ordered a taxi to come and get us from Steph's place later, and we waited 40 minutes for the next train to Tawa. We were really happy to be on the train.
We walked up the hill from the station to Steph and josh's place, and Josh returned home from Paraparaumu shortly after this. We took turns in the shower, and Steph got into her finery. She looked Lovely!
The taxi arrived, and we went to the Hote. We were miraculously early, and had time for a drinkk in the comfy chairs.
Steph's friends started to arrive, and we went to the ballroom.
the ceremony was wonderful, and Steph looked so proud and lovely, walking so gracefully onto the stage.
At the end, we walked through town, and Steph took off her shoes to go barefoot. We caught the train just before it left, and when we got back up to Steph and Josh's place, and pulled out the sofa bed and made it, I fell into bed and went instantly to sleep!
