I have vague memories of my aunt telling me it was a parade for either Poulton Club Day (bit like a local Gala Day) or was it an Empire Day parade? The little boy Tommy ? had an uncle in North America - hence the banner and the Indian costume. I just wish now I had listened more closely to this story or taken notes.

I'm slightly envious, since my family gathered only a very few times in my childhood...it isn't a tradition we shared probably because of some bad feelings between various relations.

I'm sure my aunts had lots of stories they could have told me if they had been so inclined. My paternal Aunt Enid was good friends with my mother. But the 1930s striped dress and hairstyle in your photo reminded me of the Duchess of Windsor straight away.. Just the kind of clothes she used to wear.

My father & his sisters were close - as whole families, but not so much on an individual basis. However, all their children - all of us cousins - have become close over the years & even though not living nearby, try to see each other as often as possible - most often at our yearly vacation/reunion at Lake Tahoe with all the 2nd & even 3rd cousins in the process getting to really know each other in order to hopefully keep the tradition going. Still, I wish I had known my aunts & uncles just a little better, personally.La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-32279962748332320632014-05-08T15:13:55.995+01:002014-05-08T15:13:55.995+01:00The girls in the prompt don't have ringlets ei...The girls in the prompt don't have ringlets either, their hair is rather straight, except for a few curly bangs in the older one.
