World Wide Web dot is quicker to say than www dot!

When I started this blog over two years ago my intention was to create a means of sorting all the old photos that Mum & Dad had left behind... a big box of memories without names and dates on the back. As Rob, Anne and I live in Yorkshire, Merseyside and Cumbria respectively, I thought it would be a quick and easy way of us looking at them at the same time. It is an easy way but not necessarily quick! I’ve always thought it would be good to have an album or photo-book of the old photos complete with names, dates and places and then have copies for each of us. The trouble is, when I come across an old photo that I want to post to the blog, I find myself wanting to write something about it or about some old memories or thoughts and then the task becomes a little longer instead of just scanning the photo and uploading it. So I’m going to try and start just uploading photos without me waffling on so much and just ask these three simple WWW questions:

When was it taken?
Where was it taken?
Who is in it?

So, here’s the first.........

Sunny Hours

I’ve mentioned Mum’s autograph book before and how it’s full of drawings and words from friends & family. When I came across the Sunny Hours Poppies by Auntie Doris I told Pam & Tricia about it and that I would send them a copy. Anyway I forgot all about it and Tricia reminded me last week so I finally got round to scanning the poppies and sent them both a copy. I ‘joined’ the two pages together to make it easy to mount/frame.

Pam & Tricia have just got back from a months trip to Australia where they visited Auntie Tilly and family including cousin Judy who lives in the Blue Mountains.

Anyone know the date of the photo of Pam & Tricia or where it was taken?

Landscape paintings on wood

I have had these four paintings for about thirty years. I first hung them on my bedroom wall at The Ginnel when I was about nineteen or twenty. I’ve taken them with me whenever I’ve moved house and have always had them on display but they have only just gone on the wall today having been boxed up for the last six years or so.

All I know about them is Mum brought them with her from India. Not sure if they came over with her in 1946 or after her visits with us lot? Anyone know anymore about them?

Grandma Ince's family

Cousin Tricia sent me some photos recently from India. Will post them here soon.

Tricia also sent an interesting photo showing Grandma Ince's family (Millicent Elizabeth Sayers). The text underneath must have been written by Doris. I’ll ask Tricia to confirm this.
