Posted on 03/09/2011 by

The theme this week is (as usual) open to interpretation, so keeping with Great Granny’s album, I’ve chosen a rather tattered and creased (well-loved) old picture of my Granny and her sister as girls – it’s the earliest one I … Continue reading →

Tut. Get your hand off his knee, Granny!

Posted on 27/08/2011 by

Another photo from my Granny’s album and, as usual, the gang of cousins and friends are messing about and having fun.  But wait, Granny has her HAND ON THAT BLOKE’S KNEE!  I’m shocked at such forward behaviour in the late … Continue reading →

Coin or masonic or what? Sepia Saturday

Posted on 15/07/2011 by

I’m afraid I found no inspiration in my boxes of photos for this week’s meme, so have gone totally random (you’ll not be surprised to hear that one again – me? random? OK, yes). My Dad was an avid coin … Continue reading →

The Minister – Sepia Saturday

Posted on 02/04/2011 by

The minister’s a fraud!  Well, only in so far as he’s not actually a minister – he’s a doctor, my Uncle Ron. I found this photo in my Granddad’s album of other photos of Ron and family from around 1984. … Continue reading →

I had no idea who this dashing young airman was until Auntie told me “that’s your Granny’s brother, James.  He was in the Air Force and went missing in World War II around the time Great Grandpa Stewart died”.  I … Continue reading →

1940 see-saw for Sepia Saturday 66

Posted on 19/03/2011 by

The excited little girl standing beside the see-saw is Auntie, and the boy facing her is Dad. The lady at the opposite end is, I think, my Granny.  Despite the suit and the sensible shoes, she obviously liked a shot … Continue reading →

I usually enjoy looking at Alan’s Sepia Saturday pictures and taking my lead from his photo, but I’m going my own way this week.  I can’t resist this pic of my Dad as a wee lad in his kilt, attending … Continue reading →

Spot the tin bath in this photo from Great Granny’s album – and I now know where and when this was taken!  I’ve still to work out who’s who… There seems to be a bit of tomfoolery going on – … Continue reading →
