Look at my hair! My Nana was visiting and told my mother she would take me for a needed hair cut. ( A shop at the bottom of Daws Heath Road and Eastwood Road, Rayleigh People.) The hairdresser was a very young trainee. I forget the details but someone startled her and she cut this massive chunk out of my bangs! My grandmother paid her (my memory says half a crown) and laughed merrily all the way back home because she tipped her and realized she probably shouldn't have. I don't remember being that amused. I'm 8 years old.

Love Lane Primary School. The following year we were given plastic flowers to hold, but these are real dahlias (which I'm trying to grow for the first time myself, this year.) I was wearing a dress my mother made - a pale yellow strip print with this large collar - I loved it. I'm sure she knit the sweater too. I'm also wearing a silver christening ring that sadly I lost long ago. I'm six.

Brought forward for the Vintage Photos Theme Park monthly theme of: BACK TO SCHOOL. This is either the September's term first day of school or the first day of the spring term of 1961. In England, at least then, you could begin school in the Spring term - which went from after Easter until the middle of July (in which case you got a short kindergarten experience) or in the September term where you went for a whole year (I think). Either way, I think this was my brother's first day of school. Pictured left to right: 1st Row: Janet Hall, Diane Hall, Nicholas Lundbech, Ruth Brown, me, Linda Whiting. 2nd Row: Frances Brown, Pauline Cox, Jill Cox Back Row: Sheila Whiting Janet, Diane and Linda are wearing our school (Love Lane) blazer which was royal blue with gold or orange trim. Sheila in the back is wearing the FitzwiMarc blazer which i think was red with a silver trim.
