Day Trippers

Day Trippers
A photo of my father and some members of his family and some unidentified people, c. 1935.
They're in front of a "coach" (private bus) going on a trip somewhere, but he doesn't remember where.
He is in the back row, all the way to the left, with the jacket and tie. His cousin, Betty Wiily, is in the second row, third from left, with the polka dot dress, and his cousin, Sheila is in the middle of the bottom row with the dark blazer, to the right of her is his sister, Joan, and on the end, with the attitude which my Dad said was typical, is his cousin, Pat Gledhill. He remembered that the kid behind Pat was very taken with her, and she was quite annoyed at his nerve!
Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of "Day Trippers".

He was able to name all the relatives, but had no idea of the other people's names - including that woman. He was puzzled about the combination of relatives and non-relatives, and could not imagine where they were all going. His cousin in the front had come down from Swansea, (to Cardiff) Which made it all the more puzzling to him. Sadly, he is the only relative left here. Betty, Sheila, and Joan all passed away in the last few years - and I believe Pat died quite a while ago.

It is definitely interesting to know a bit about some of the individuals in the group and their personalities (especially Pat's attitude and the nervy guy behind her)!

It was pretty funny hearing my Dad go on about Pat. According to him, she thought she was a cut above. She was also several years older, so maybe he was snubbed by her 80 years ago and has a hard time forgiving, haha
Actually, I think she showed up when I was a teen and went to visit relatives in Wales, In my memory she was very interested to hear about my Dad and seemed to have fond memories of him. Too little, too late, I guess. : )
