It was too hot to go out yesterday, so I went through old family photo albums with my brother instead. Excuse the poor quality, they are photos of fuzzy 1970s photos.
I do look a bit apprehensive on my grandad’s shoulders. But he was a very nice man.
I’m a lot happier with my dad
Not so much with my granny… I don’t think it’s her … what I must be pissed off about is this totally ridiculous outfit!
With my mum in my grandparents’ garden
As promised…
I was a sprightly four-year-old.
This ultra-short haircut may look quite cute, but it’s the tear-blighted result of my first hair-related tragedy. My dad had made a real botch-job of cutting it, and this is the best the hairdresser could do to save my dignity.
These are chocolate bears. Right in front of me. What do you think will happen next…?
What else?!? Whoever’s hand that was, it just wasn’t fast enough to save them.
The last three are of my brother and I, taken in the early 80s. (He’s ten years younger than me.)
He was always easy to please 😉
I did want to kill him back then. Now I’m glad I resisted the urge

Kids don’t stay sweet all the time :-). They develop a mind of their own, which is a good thing.

Not sure I was all that sweet as a kid… but I shall leave you with that illusion 😉

So cute! Totally brings back the memories (well, alleged memories) of frolicking naked at my dacha. Btw, the nature/landscape in these photos look absolutely gorgeous and make me want to get out of the city asap!

Yes, lots of woods and nature 🙂

Oh I love these! Hard to choose a favourite, but the naked climbing frame shot has a certain something. Some of the baby outfits are hilarious. What a sweetie!

One of my grannies was heavily into knitting, the other one was a seamstress.
I bore the brunt of their…erm…’creativity’.
Might do another post on that. lol.

My grandad was fab 🙂
Must have another trawl through the pictures. It’s just really difficult photographing them… I don’t have a scanner.

A scanner would be delightful. I don’t have one either. Good luck finding a photo of you and your granddad where you aren’t terrified 🙂 It is a funny photo though.
