one hundred and seven
When my mum came back to London to celebrate her birthday, she stopped off at her sister's to pick up a big box of old photos.

ohhh these are wonderful! they look like scenes from a movie... i understand what you mean about the fictional-seeming decades of our parents youths. it is a beautiful faraway sensation looking through their old pictures, such a different generation that we now know only in the retelling.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! I love old photographs. These are really lovely!
