Uncle Harold was a very early photo bomber. LOL!
Grannie Annie: so he was:)
Great set of photos. But I have to ask, was it painful having trickets...?
Kim: maybe that's what caused my knock knees:)
What wonderful photies/memories! I swear you have not changed since being a bairn! :)
Xxx
I studied every photo.
What wonderful photos.
I loved Uncle Harold peeking through the window.
cheers, parsnip
"Photies" makes me miss Jimmy Bastard. Do you remember that guy? He talked me down off a ledge when I lost my job several years ago. I'll never forget him for that.
What a great bunch of pics. You're very fortunate to have these. My family was too broke for a camera so there are no photos of me or my siblings as children. No pics of my grandparents. Nothing. Good that you cherish them.
Maurcheen: away wi' ye! You mean I am in my second childhood:)
Parsnip: yes it is sweet - it took me years to notice it.
Exile: JB was an important part of many of our lives.
I'll never forget he remembered that yellow was Alastair's favourite colour and after he died Jimmy and his lovely wife took their boat on Loch Lomond and placed a yellow wreath in the lake in his memory. What a beautiful thing to do. Haste ye back Jimmy!
Simply wonderful photographs. You are so lucky to have them, and we are so lucky to get to share them.
Can you tell us more about Maddie?
Mage: I promise all will be revealed. Sorry to be slow- I've had a few health issues but will try to do the next chapter before I leave for Christmas that's if health issues allow.
Take the compliment dear Patricia, and as my taller brother would say, keep the faith. 😀
Xxx
NOBODY forgets Jimmy! 👦
Aye, very important to a lot of us is our Jimmy. Many the night he paid my bar tab. I do miss the fecker. 😀
Such WONDERFUL Pictures, dear Pat......I LOVE seeing old photo's....And it is so great that you have these.....
Great Memories, my dear Pat......
I hope your Health Issues clear up, my dear, and that you are able to go on your Christmas Trip!
Wishing you the most Wonderful Holiday Season, dear dear Pat and a very Healthy and Happy 2016!!
Naomi: so lovely to hear from you and thank you for your kind wishes.
I am feeling much better and hope when I see the doctor next week he will agree I'm fit to travel.
A treasure trove of history, personal memories. I love the little boy peeking through the window, the fallen tree, the sweeping landscape, the MASSIVE fish haha...love them all.
I hope your health issue clears up, Pat dearest.
I'm saving your story for when I settle down [I'm on holiday, visiting family again, in Florida].
Neena: thank you for your good wishes. I'm banking on it being a false alarm but should know next Wednesday. Enjoy the sun shine;)
love Maddie with the flowers
Helen: she's a scream isn't she?
Nice to put faces to all the names. And places. I hope you are okay and that you'll be able to make your Christmas trip :oD
Some real treasures here! Particularly the outside shots.
