Post by: lorna on June 22, 2007, 22:26:32: Jannine, can't believe that photo. Our dog at home was your dogs twin and his name was Bob!! He died at age of 14. OK will take up your challenge but may have to get my John to scan some pics as my old pics are in frames or albums. This thread could be a scream!! ;D

Post by: busy_lizzie on June 23, 2007, 10:10:21: The photos are great! Bet you are the little un with the smile on your face Lorna. Tim, your mother is so elegent, and loved the rest of those little faces, what gorgeous hair Dandelion. Here is me when I was three. It was before colour photographer was widespread, and when they had to colour the pics in by hand. Men were always coming around the doors and taking photographs. My mother said I hated them all and always looked very suspiciously at them, so on every photo when I was little I was scowling. Me and my elder brother had just been to a birthday party and had cake in our hands. ;D busy_lizzie

I just copied the picture from my computer and uploaded it to Photobucket then copied it including the URL then pasted it here - obvious wrong!
Title: Re: The way we used to look, come on I dare you
Post by: Hot_Potato on June 23, 2007, 17:21:59: I'm wondering if it's because I've not paid Dan the £10. (assume it's still that amount).......forgot to do it especially as I rarely post pics. Maybe a 'block' is put on you if you've not paid - could that be it do you think please?

got his address somewhere if I can find it - will send the money off then at least I'm covered for the odd times I want to add a pic.

Title: Re: The way we used to look, come on I dare you
Post by: asbean on June 24, 2007, 21:45:57: 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. :)

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!)

These are all great photos.

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. ::)

Post by: Jeannine on June 27, 2007, 15:59:50: 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.

Post by: froglets on June 29, 2007, 09:00:42: Hiya Carol,

I still have my rosette, although I did chop one of the tail to tie round my case handle so I'd recognise it at baggage reclaim.

Sorry, won't be coming up this weekend, mum is too busy to see me - playing at a major bowls match in Ayr - Scottish Ladies Triples final I believe.

Was never too keen on horses anyway & have split loyalties - my uncle was Standard Bearer at The Cleikum so we used to support Innerleithen Games really.

Looking at that picture I realise gravity has dragged those chubby cheeks downwards & deposited them on my hips!

"There's lassies rare abun Traquair & bonny yina awa by Fala, but ne're a lass tho 'er sea rare, can match the ane that bides in Gala"

Which is why I live in Cheshire ::)
