Two weeks ago, I went back to my late grandmother's hometown to visit her tombstone. My grandma used to love going to school, but had to drop out early because of her poor health. However, her mother (my great-grandmother), a few of her sisters, as well as my own mom, were all teachers. That explains why I did a retro uniform back-to-school look, even though I graduated from secondary school over 18 years ago.
I have added a picture of my grandmother sitting in almost the same spot as me on my Instagram post. Back in her days, it was still a train station, but now, it's a boutique and meeting point for cyclists (sadly, a lot of trains stopped running in this country for the sake of a car lifestyle, but that's a rant for another day).
