Grandad, Keith, Mum and Rob.


Apart from commenting on the beautiful/handsome side of our family, I'm a little limited on giving any details on this photo.  I imagine the year to be 1953/4 and of course it was taken when Mum took Keith and Rob to meet their Grandparents in Coonoor, Sth.India.   I'm not even too sure how long Mum and the boys stayed out there.  I do know they travelled by liner and it took 2 weeks travelling to arrive.   My only memory connected to this...is the colour of Mum's dress as I remember playing dressing-up in it when I was little, it was turquoise blue!
I think Keith and/or Rob - (possibly, as very young here) will be more likely to comment on this one!

    Are you implying that Mum, Keith & Rob are on the handsome side of the family and that me, you & Dad are on the ugly side!!! Speak for yourself sister!!!!!! :-))))

    Aw lovely, glad you enjoyed the weekend Rob!
    I thought you may not be able to remember anything because of being so young, but at least Mum's stories adds something. That spider must have been really quite big being a native of India.....eeeew I shudder at the thought of it!
