Nine is a lot of children. When I was small I stayed with a family with 12 children (there were 13 but one died). Coming from my little family of my older sister (8 years older than me) and my older parents (my mother was 44 when she had me) it was quite a shock. There were so many children, I was surprised they didn't have roll=call twice a day. Mealtimes were chaos, or so it seemed to me, and bedtime was like boarding school was years later. Quite an experience. :)

here's one to give you a bit of a laugh - I'm in Swedish National Costume
I was about 12 at the time and had recently danced at the Royal Albert Hall with my dancing School in a National Dancing Competition. My Mum insisted on taking this photo in our garden (got another one of me in Norwegian costume - wearing an awful hat!)

Heldi! So sweet! Tim's pic is just superb. I don't have any from when i was little.
My mum cut my fringe by combing half of my hair over the front of my face and then hacking wildly at it with bluntish scissors. Always had the slopy fringe. ::)

I am so glad I started this post, the pictures have been just smashing, I keep looking back at them trying to find a favourite but it is impossible. Tims Mum is really lovely, just look at that waist.I adore the kids on the train too, but they are all so good. I need to go through mine more often I think.
I have one of me somewhere when I was abput 10 months pregnant in one of those awful floral smock things, and with a skirt too.
Perhaps we could move up in our age ranges and put ourselves on again as young adults or being silly. I have a few of those.
Keep them coming, they are really special.

You could sell that school picture to one of those companies who make modern greetings cards, I am stuck for choice as to what caption they would put underneath it. It is absolutely priceless XX Jeannine

Love your pic Fork, what a lovely look....
anyway here I am in 1951... the little garden girl, and then again in Australia in 1971 with my first bike... still have a bike but its a bit more modern!! Oh and that's how I used to ride then... no protective clothing, no gloves or boots and flared trousers that flapped in the breeze!
