"On the Launch, Derwentwater, 1936"

Brought forward for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: SHIP OUT!
I hope to start posting regularly again in a few weeks. I've missed being here - and the time to post!

My mother's school trip. She is at the ten o' clock position on the left, holding her curled up leg.
My grandfather almost didn't let her go. He said the price was ridiculous. (I think it was 7 pounds for ten days at a hostel including train fare.) It wasn't that he couldn't afford it - he just dug his heels in. My mother's older sister shamed him by announcing that she would pay for it if he didn't, so he relented.
My mother is eleven almost twelve, though she looks older in all of the photos here.
These are all Leyton (London) girls.

My mom added a note on the back:

Remembering 29 years later from left to right.
(I've put the names she listed in "Tags.")
