Today out the blue my eldest sister sent me a photo she had take of our family outside our home in London. Circa 1956 ! It was such a lovely surprise and it really took me back!
As Teresa was taking the photo and not visible I asked her to find another one but with her in it! She did, this time one of the twins was absent as she was taking the photo ! I look a little older in this one so I reckon it is circa 1958.
Top photo : Elder Brother T with his tongue out,Mum, , Dear Mary now deceased, Elder brother’s Twin F, Brother JP, Dad and me.
Bottom photo: Eldest sister Tess, brother T in long trousers this time, a cousin, brother JP with his tongue out this time, Mary peeping out at the back , another cousin and then me looking grumpy!!

Reminiscing
I remember the days of black and white
When we were taught wrong from right .
Endless days of love while growing up
Here I drink from yesterday’s cup.
Here we are in days gone by
My those years spread their wings and fly.
Hot dinners ,comfort in the family fold
Things to remember when we get old.
Someone is missing, sister Tess,
With the camera she catches us in time
Come good or ill,all of us, lives entwine
This made me what I am I guess.
Days were so much simpler then
I bet you think I have rose tinted glasses on
I know you do but you are wrong!

Lovely photos and who doesn’t need a brother with his tongue out? LOL You looked like a blond angel, but you were probably bedeviling the others, rather like my youngest girl. XOXO
