These photographs are of my parents when they were both five years old.
I love the innocence and happiness on their faces, and the fact that they are both playing in the garden. I used to spend hours playing in the garden as a child; with my dolls acting out The Faraway Tree, pretending I was a pop-singer on the picnic table, or being tied to the cherry tree by my brothers (by my waist-length plaits no less!). I hope The Boy enjoys the outdoors as much as his family has in the past.
So you found the photo? They are wonderful images, I love looking at old photos. I used to love playing outside with my brother making camps and playing on our bikes etc… Happy days. Also hope B will have as much fun outdoors too.
I love looking at old photos, I can spend hours poring over them!
I love the black and white one! so cheeky! I also love looking at old photos and seeing the difference and how the world has changed!
These are great! I especially love the one of your mom at her easel 😉
Gorgeous photo's. Lovely seeing parents when they were still young and carefree.
Great pictures. I'm a sucker for old photos.
Brilliant post. Brilliant photos. I love old photos so much, for the same reasons that you've mentioned – everyone seems to look so happy and innocent in them. x
What wonderful pictures!
Lovely photos, how fab to have them! I love the pigtail bit…I got tied to a tree dangling upside down by my feet by Dave Gorman's older brothers when I was about that age!
Wow what great photos to have, so precious.
I wanted to live in the Faraway tree and ouch being tied by your hair sounds painful. Hope you got them back. 😉
Oh, that's so nice! I love looking at old photos!
Loving the shorts and tie combo!
Your mum looks very cheeky in her photo. Fab post!
Vintage photos…there's nothing like them. I adore looking at baby pictures from when I was little! 😉 Thanks so much for sharing. Aren't we lucky to have things like this?
Gorgeous photos… I love everything old and black and white, especially if the pictures show such happiness x
