He ain't heavy.

Me & my brother Rob!

Written in pencil on the back of this photo is the date 19th March 1963. That means I am one year, one month and one day old! I look big for a one year old baby?! Me and my Grandad (Mum’s Dad) met for the first time, in India, when I was 5 years old. So in 1963, he would only have ever seen photos of me that Mum would have sent over to India, and perhaps he had seen this one of Rob & me, as he used to call me ‘Big David’!

I was also born on a Sunday, like Mum & Dad! There are a lot of birthdays in February in my family. We used to all get together, usually on The Wirral somewhere, and celebrate with a cake big enough to take all our names and the candles!

Rob & Dave.

Big David.

    I remember that harness well! It was pale blue leather with a flock lining and tatty reins! I think your leggings were called 'rompers' then. I never knew that Grandad referred to me as Annie.

    I said to Sarah I thought it was blue leather! Yes, I thought it was only Brian that called you Annie.
