A lovely McCormack family photo

Dad, Anne, Rob, Keith & Granma

Once again, a photo I don't ever remember seeing...unless I've simply forgotten!
For some reason I look extremely miserable! I'm sitting in between Dad and Rob who's next to Keith then there's Gran at the end. (Dad's Mum)
I must be about 4 or 5 which makes the year 1959-60.
I wonder if it's a Saturday as we always picked up Gran then and she would come back to our house for tea. If it was a sunny day we would always have an ice cream cornet/wafer on the way home but it always had to be Wall's ice cream, (or was that Lyon's Maid?)
Remember Buckley's ice cream in New Ferry - it was the BEST ever!

    I know, I don't think I remember Gran ever smiling. I just remember her being stern, spiders always in her bath, and the smell of the very dried up carbolic soap in her bathroom!

    Grandad was shot?! I know absolutely nothing of him except he died of ...what?, in the cottage hospital in Port Sunlight, which is now Leverhulme hotel. Even seems strange calling him 'Grandad' as we never met.
    I'd love to see the photo Rob, I'll send you a quick email now so you'll have my address. Could you put the photo up on the blog maybe?
