Birthday hat

My schoolfriend Louis de Swardt invited me to a braai at his Uitenhage home this afternoon.
       He had a surprise in store for the four women guests. We each got a hat to wear at the lunch table.The bagful of hats that he produced belongs to a young NMMU student Sue Ellen who works in his accountancy practice during varsity holidays.

   I selected a wide brimmed white hat with flower trim to
 match my red and white silk scarf.

          

  The pudding lady's hat.

 Marietjie van der Walt looked stunning in her black
pillbox with net. Her husband Louis was our teacher at
Middelburg High school in the early 60's.
