This is a room where female inmates used to meet. There is a mixture of program jargon and messages written by the girls during their time here
The view might be pleasant but the children were punished harshly if they were caught looking out it.
Sorting out PC files & came across these photos of my very first cake (public appearance)!
It was for a family wedding. I learnt so much from this cake......it was a comedy of errors (as listed):
*Chocolate collars = high degree of difficulty on 35 degree day; even with air-con going.
* Chocolate collars should not be attempted on morning of wedding!
*Old fashioned roses will fall apart as soon as you put them on the cake.
*Allow enough time for husband to race to florist to get whatever they have to replace knackered roses!
*Never make a cake with small children or husband around.
*Never make a cake for the first time without champagne at hand!
My cakes look much better for this experience I think!!

Most of Academy at Ivy Ridge operated without teachers. Students were required to self-study and do tests on the computers which were cut off from the internet. If the students did not self-study or could not pass a test on their own, they would be punished severely. This was a factor in why they could not receive their accreditation from the state of New York.

For June 12th, 2018, closing in on the second anniversary of the Pulse Nightclub Massacre in Orlando, Florida, there were nationwide protests led by youth to call for better gun regulations and safer schools. The cause became even more urgent in the wake of the Stoneman Douglas School Shooting in Parkland, Florida, on March 7, 2018, and the continued refusal by politicians funded by the National Rifle Association to do anything about gun violence.
As the Pulse had been a nightclub catering to gay men and transgender women of Latino/Latina backgrounds, there was a lot of intersectional advocacy at the protest on behalf of LGBT and people of color communities as well.

Despite having rows of books, the children were not allowed to walk down certain rows due to the fact that they might be able to conspire amongst each other. Due to this rule, many books could not be viewed or checked out. Those rows only served to fool parents during tours of the school
As seen during a spectacularly wet camping holiday in the English Lake District during the mid seventies. I think the dog, part of a pack of hunting hounds was making a speculative thieving dash past the tent as I was attempting to cook breakfast.
The excellent and usually reliable site ARO online claims a French nickname for the estate was the “Pigmy Hearse” but I still rather like the look of these.
Activists of all ages gathered for an afternoon of art, music and politics at our third Democracy Cafe in Mill Valley. This month, we looked into solutions to end gun violence, through a range of activities designed to inspire us to action. We started the day by making signs for the ‘March for Our Lives’ rally. We then sang along with the Freedom Singers. Marin County Supervisor Kate Sears led a group discussion on gun reform. Young singer Emma Spike performed songs of hope, and music director Reed Fromer led a final sing-along with some classic tunes about social change.
This free public event took place on Sunday, March 18th from 2 to 5pm, at the O'Hanlon Center for the Arts in Mill Valley. We were delighted to see many young people come make their own signs against gun violence, then stay to sing and talk with us.
Thanks to all our friends and neighbors who came to join their voices, minds and hearts to energize each other and create a better world. Kudos to our co-hosts Marilyn Price, Jennifer Tomkins, Rebecca Brackman, Grace Severtson -- and everyone who helped us organize this uplifting community event.
Democracy Cafe is a series of free creative and civic events led by Fabrice Florin and a growing community of activists and artists in Marin. We think making art, playing music and talking with people of all ages and backgrounds can build mutual understanding and engage us to take meaningful political action together.
Join your neighbors to make political art and music -- and keep democracy alive!

This was the "new" gym that was constructed shortly before the closure of the school. The circle of chairs are part of groups that kids had to do during the seminar as part of a "lifeboat" exercise where they chose which of their peers would live or die as part of emotionally breaking them down.
Therapy was available at an additional charge to the parent by these programs. Unfortunately, many of the therapists were often found to be interns and, in some cases, not even in possession of a college degree
