Since I'm involved in the final week of the JeRoWriMo writing challenge and heading toward the finish line, I decided to put up an old photo. I love this one. It's such a precious moment in time. It must have been taken in Belford where my father's family had a summer bungalow. You can see the marsh in the background. On the left is my father's brother (he died in World War II), next to him is my grandfather, wearing suspenders as he always did. My father is on the right holding his baby brother. My grandmother must have snapped the photo.
The older boys are no longer wearing knickers as they did in photos when they were younger. The photo is from the 1930s. Maybe this is why I enjoy history. I have little bits of it. :-)
Do you have old family photos? Which are your favorites?
