Beautiful! And it looks like so long ago. I, too, love the swirl of ducks and chickens around them. I also like the way your grandmother’s head is tilted.

About 98 years ago – so much progress since then, in some ways ….. but human behaviour, not so much.

Happy Mothers Day to you too! At least these days we have email, skype, whats app and so on. My kids have sent electronic messages as we can’t meet up. Love the picture of your mother – a lady after my own heart.

Yes, we really are so fortunate to have many ways to keep in touch.
The picture is of my Grandmother, Lillian Alberta, known to me as Nan-Nan.

It’s been 36 years, but I still miss my Ma. And I have no children of my own, so Mother’s Day rather passes me by…. I’m a bit envious of those with grown children and grands.

Gosh, your Ma died young Kate. That must have been tough.
My mother is 91 but so far along the dementia route that she has no knowledge of things going on around her.
Mother’s Day is very strange this year as we are all in isolation.
I do feel very lucky, and I never take for granted what I have.

She died of breast cancer when I was 23. Pa’s 97, and his dementia is moderate, he knows who I am and where he is, but he’s very deaf, nearly blind and cannot speak due to a small stroke. Despite that, he still has a wonderful smile 🙂

Those smiles, so precious.
Cancer is so cruel, but so much progress has been made since then, thank goodness. I lost a friend to breast cancer, about 25 years ago, her children were 7,5 and 3 at the time. I hope you have some lovely photos of your Mum, and of course you have lots of precious memories.

Doing some family history research has shown me that my father’s parents were from Dorset farming families going back into the 1500s and therefore, most probably way beyond that. I am rock solidly a Yokel!

Wonderful, I love the way that it isn’t a posed studio photo as many were from those days so your father and grandmother are surrounded by the ducks and chickens.
