Irena Jernej iz Brisbana

Naša koordinatorka današnjega slovenskega mladinskega koncerta tukaj v Brisbanu, gospa Irena Jernej, bo nastopila v naši naslednji točki. Toda predno se nam sama predstavi, se ji želimo zahvaliti za vse, kar je storila, da je ta naš koncert tukaj in da tako lepo poteka. Hvala, Irena!
Takole pa pravi Irena Jernej sama o sebi: “Prihajam iz majhnih prelepih nebes na svetu – Koroške, dežele zelenih gozdov, prelepih dolin in hribov, med katerimi živijo prijazni ljudje. Po srcu sem pravo slovensko koroško dekle. Prijatelji me poznajo tudi pod imenom ‘ Dama iz Ljubljane’, to pa zaradi mojega načina oblačenja. Moja vzornica je bila moja teta iz Ljubljane, ki sem jo jaz kot desetletno dekle pričela posnemati, saj v mojem majhnem kraju dekleta niso nosila visokih pet ali celo klobukov  le jaz sem imela to korajžo. Poizkusila sem se na modnih pistah, nastopih na odrih,  uspešno v alpinizmu, plezanju, ekstremnih športih, vožnji z avtobusom in prikoličarjem po vsej Evropi. Uživam pa tudi v kuhanju, vrtnarjenju, kulturnih prireditvah in v prostem času se ukvarjam z letenjem športnega letala. Zelo rada pa grem s svojim vnukom v kino ali park, kjer oba uživava. Sem ponosna babica treh vnukov v pričakovanju četrtega.Recitirala bom dve pesmi “Daleč si, Koroška moja” in “ Cranky old Man”

The co-ordinator of this year’s concert Mrs Irena Jernej will perform next.  But before she performs, we wish to thank her for all her hard work and efforts in organising the concert this year. Thank you Irena! Mrs Jernej comes from the Koroška region and describes the region as heavenly with picturesque mountains and valleys where friendly people live.  In her heart she will always be a true Koroška girl.  Irena is also known by her friends as the ‘Lady of Ljubljana’. This is because of her dress style. Irena says that her inspiration was her aunt in Ljubljana; as a ten year old child she wanted to be dressed like her in high heels and hats; women where she lived never dressed this way –Irena had the courage to do this so bought ‘style’ to the village she lived in! Irena has been on the catwalk, performed on stage, is a successful alpinist, mountain climber and has been involved in extreme sports. She has also travelled around Europe on many modes of transport.Irena’s other hobbies include cooking and gardening. She is also a proud grandmother of three grandchildren with another one on the way. She enjoys spending time with her grandchildren by taking them to the  cinemas and the park.
