Vonnie

Vonnie all dressed up to see her grandaughter sing on Australia Day

This is Vonnie. Vonnie is, in my humble opinion, one of Norfolk Islands treasures. She rescued me and Trouble in the supermarket one day. She works there. I am not sure what exactly she does, but at her age, she is still working there. Whilst I had overladen my basket and was having trouble wrangling the boy who wanted to race down the isles, she picked him up and said I'm getting you a trolley. She and Harry came back with him having a ride in the trolley. Some days you see her and her talk is almost nonsensical and a bit hard to follow...having a lend of us all I suspect. She has this incredible ability to make people laugh.

Look at those eyes, she's telling me ""That's enough photos now thankyou". I sense she was not a mum to mess with.  The photo below is indicative of her cookyness. Striking a pose and having a laugh. 

If they were to nominate an Island Treasure on Norfolk, I'd nominate her.
