I am posting very early today because it is my birthday, and we are going out for lunch.
My birthday has gone from being in the middle of summer in the UK to the middle of winter here in Australia. It is only 13 degrees C at the moment, but the sun is shining so I am sure it will get a little bit warmer as the day goes on.
This is a photo taken on Wednesday when we went on a bus tour in Newcastle with our U3A.
After we had been to Port Waratah Coal Services (yesterday's photo) and had lunch, we then we did a tour of Miss Porter's House in Newcastle. It was an interesting tour. Not a very big house but interesting nonetheless
I didn't take the top left photo of the actual house because it was pouring with rain while we were there. I got that photo off the Internet.
The two centre photos on the bottom row are of uranium glass which really glowed when the lady who did the talk shone a UV torch on the glass.
First of all- Happy Birthday Babs! I hope you had a fabulous day! As for the collage- Mrs. Porter looks like she had very good taste in home furnishings! My friend Judy had a set of dishes made with the glow in the dark stuff too- we learned it doesn't take much to make them glow so they're safe for humans. Great collage of what looks to be a very interesting tour.
A beautiful collage full of interest, a lovely place to visit!
Happy birthday Babs 💐🎁🥂
A wonderful collage of the past
A stunning collage with so much to see, amazing that it all fits in that little house.
Happy birthday!

Hope you’ve had a great Birthday Babs! 🎉🍾🥂🍰
Amazing collage. I'm wondering about the safety of the Uranium glass for people around these objects?
Lovely collage.
