I have just completed a layout of my Parents when they first started courting back in the 1960's. They first met yes I have to say it "On the Buses" back in England when my Dad was the bus driver and my Mum was the Clippie, (ticket conductor). While visiting them in Qld over Christmas I took a photo of Mum and Dad to Scrapbook, I also had my friend Karen make a cushion using the same photo printed on fabric. I searched high and low to find a print of the bus that my Mum and Dad use to ride on together, I managed to source it from England and then had it framed for my Dad's Birthday. On the bus in the print it say CROYDON on the scroll, this is where all us three children were born. (A little piece of histroy).
