Cheers.; 2:29 AM

Here from Micheles today; 4:43 PM
Pat said...: Hi Becky: when I think about it I have been embarrassingly caught out with my sons from time to time:) But they still love me.; 4:52 PM
Sam, Problem-Child-Bride said...: Utterly beautiful, Pat. This might be my favourite picture of you so far,; 4:57 PM
Shane said...: Hello Pat, thanks for dropping in. I do remember you from before I took my blogging break.

Given your recent agent/dress/party missive, I assume you look out for Grand National runners with names such as 'MacLean's Mare' or 'Front-Tooth Filly'.; 5:20 PM
Pat said...: Sam: you do know that I look nothing like that now.; 5:50 PM
Pat said...: Shane: sweet of you to drop by. Them's would have been my choices for sure. As it was I chose Silver Birch

Michele sent me. Nighty night.; 11:44 PM
Margaret said...: Wonderful photo!

Pat said...: Hi margalit! It felt like hours and the lights are blinding so you can't see people's faces and it's very hot.

Thanks Sophie!; 11:52 PM
Anonymous said...: Yes, I did go all "unecessary".

All I can say is "Will you marry me?" Ooops, sorry, you are already happily married......well, a chap can dream cant he?; 12:15 AM
Pat said...: Keith : I know you aren't totally serious but I'm still flattered.; 10:16 AM

Visiting here from Michele's....; 1:47 PM
Pat said...: Hi Terri and welcome!; 2:54 PM
zoe said...: how graceful and utterly beautiful. you put today's models to shame.; 4:30 PM
Pat said...: dear Zoe! Just as well you can't see me at this moment - having just come in from gardening!; 5:10 PM
neena maiya (guyana gyal) said...: Yes, she does put today's models to shame, doesn't she?

I love the way women posed for pics. then. I've seen photos of my mother and aunts posing like that...so beautiful, graceful, feminine.; 5:24 PM
Pat said...: GG: it comes from the 'knees together' syndrome. I remember being shocked when I saw my step-daughter sitting with her knees apart. I'm sure now there would be two schools of thought. That we were tight a---d and the younger generation free and easy and more natural. I still believe that knees apart for a woman, is only acceptable in trousers.; 6:14 PM
rashbre said...: Thats a striking picture, presumably for your "portfolio?"

It must be fun to have such a collection along with the interesting stories from the time, which I'm enjoying reading.

Here, this time, via Michele's - Hiya!

rashbre; 6:16 PM
Pat said...: rashbre: I don't have a portfolio as such - just odd photos that photographers gave me and a couple of cuttings books.
So glad you are enjoying the story.; 8:21 PM
Nea said...: Having been forced to wear skirts for the first 16 years of my life I have resolved to wear trousers for the remaining. That way I don't have to worry about keeping my knees together and tree climbing is so much easier.

Although a beautiful creation like this might just tempt me to change my mind.

Do you think it would open up like a parachute in a fall?; 8:40 PM
Anonymous said...: These pictures are priceless! Sounds like you've had a wonderful life so far. I'll try to catch up now that I'm here. Michele sent me and I'm glad she did.; 8:41 PM
Pat said...: nea or should I say action girl. Now say after me 'knees together and when in danger cross your legs!'

Welcome last girl and hope you enjoy the visit.; 11:17 PM
