This week’s prompt photograph from Sepia Saturday features friends enjoying a picnic. I have only one match of a picnic, but take a look at other photos of family enjoying themselves on grass.
A 1950s family picnic with my parents, aunt, brother & myself.
In the back garden - left my first photograph with my father, and right with my mother and our kitten. A pity no one thought to move the dustbin from the shot! Late 1940s.
In the same back garden, with my father enjoying a smoke.
My first photograph with my brother.
At my grandparent's house with my grandmother , the rather frail figure with her three daughters, peggy, edith and Kathleen (my mother). c.1940.
The same garden. lLttle me with my aunt a
My parents looking very smart - the occasion my graduation from Edinburgh University, in 1965.
The family photogaph I took with me, as I set out for a year in the USA on a library exchange scheme, 196.
Enjoying the sun on a break on Nantucket Island, Mass. USA
Onto more recent times:
| 1981 and the back garden of our home in Hawick in the Scottish Borders. It is summer and this is my first attempt (and virtually the last) at cooking on a barbecue, but my efforts fell foul of the weather - hence the umbrella. Did I really need that watering can there as a health & safety measure? |
