The Gallery - Old




The school run, 70's style - when it was apparently quite normal to put your baby in a carrycot in the back, and have the kids climbing all over the seats. Seems strange now even thinking about no belts and no car seats - and not just from a safety point of view - you wouldn't be able to pin them down at all. Mine would never sit still if they weren't belted in. Long journeys must have been torture.

I'm the one wearing glasses. The one who looks like Velma from Scooby-Doo.

It's been fun flicking through my ageing album for this week's theme. I'm so glad my mum took the time to put it together - lovely to have a collection of old photos that spark countless memories.

I've been trying to do the same for my kids, so they each have a book. Needless to say I'm already behind. The eldest has done ok. He has two albums - one is full of baby photos and only goes up to when he was 6 months old! Easy to be snap happy with your first. They trail off after that.

The albums have been neglected, but I'm going to put them back on my to-do list, because I know it'll be worth it. The kids mightn't be all that bothered now, but they will be one day, when they're crinkly and a touch sentimental like me.


The Gallery theme this week is Old
