Looking for something else I found this taken 1990ish in the back garden, probably by Phil but possibly by Dad.

AuntyEdna, me and Mum.

It was a sunny day and Dad, or maybe Aunty Ed, had made them newspaper sunhats and Mum was relaxing in her slippers.

Miss Doozer  We had those sun loungers.  Very temperamental springs.  Had a nasty habit of spontaneously re-folding themselves with a child inside. Usually me.

Bentonbag  You'll be glad to hear it didn't survive long once the boys started walking.

My oldestbestfriend Henffrind's gran had a spring loaded deckchair that would fold up as you sat on it: great for trapping cats.

Mrs Lasagne  I love your hats xxxwe used to make them too xx

Cousin Daisy  Love the old pictures It’s deffo an aaaaah One. Xxx

Drummerman  Even then you were insisting on the straw hat...

Bentonbag  I bought that on Tenerife in the late 80s.

FifiD I agree with Daisy. Lovely photo's for. happy memories.Xxx M x

 

The back garden is a bit different now, some thirty five years on.

 

The boys and I are off tomorrow for over a week near my ancestral home, where there will be a small gathering of the clan to mark 

Bigsister's 80th birthday 

and 

Bigbrother and Sister-in-law's 60 years of marriage.
