Sixth Form September

No more first-day-of-school. The latest thing around is Sixth Form. Which Lily is starting at belfairs, studying A level Art, Maths and Photography.

One last meet up with the gang before they all go their different ways into further education.

And a new friend that Lily met coming home form a party.

Ah yes, the focused student dedicating themselves to a higher level of learning.

Here's a whole bunch of 'em in fact.

The rehearsal studio asked Lily is she'd like this record they had lying round. Julien... somebody or other.

The Stockvale Star Ball recognises the contributions of their staff. I say recognises, she was namechecked as Lily Cascaina in the official programme.

Cute Polaroid keepsake.

The hardest gigging band in Southend took on The Ironworks.

Heavenly sounds.

Love this photo, Lily looks so into it.

Triple trouble.

More hard work, that she's even getting paid for.

Then one night there was a knock at the door and an unexpected carriage awaited.

They tore through the streets in a high speed joyride, terrorising the neighbourhood. 

And this is my favourite Be Real of the month. Lily discovering the joy of a well worn Fender Strat, playing along to all her favourite songs.

Some Phoebe style skeleton pyjamas, ready for her next performance.

Then yet another incredible feat of cake decorating ready for Mummy's birthday.

Fingers crossed that in a post or two, we'll be able to make some detailed comparisons with the real thing...

And Lily's roundup.
