Many of this group of shots made mum look like she was on a discussion programme as one of a panel of serious intellectuals. They're all a bit... serious, though! The lighting, I suppose. But here's a nice one with a satisfied smile after a point well made, or taken!

They're not actually glum, merely contemplating something or other... :)

My grandma in the gardens. This was about the second film I'd ever developed and printed myself so I was quite proud of it ;)

Harley, my much beloved first car. A 1970 Sunbeam Alpine fastback, with a gorgeous polished wood dashboard (an upgraded one from a Humber Sceptre, I suspect) and the same unbreakable 1725 engine as my grandad's Hillman Hunters, for added nostalgia ;) I learned how to do little restorative jobs through the summer until I got my driving license, for example on those little bits of rust you can see around the door in this photo. By the time a license came around I'd sorted out every little ding in the bodywork, and my mum's friend Norman had helped me change a clutch cylinder. My dad stepped in to get the head skimmed, and by the end of the year this was an amazing Alpine. And if you look carefully, in the passenger seat is my much beloved Grandma Meg. Both are now absent. x

Me with Babs, one of mum's rescued kitties; my mum and my grandma. Babs is named after grandma's mum, my great-gran, Barbara. Pentax Super-A, Ilford XP2, self-timer, and the exposure compensation set to x2 which may have been a bit pessimistic of me!

One of my (assorted) step-sisters, Lesley, and my gran. Shame about the motion blur, but I like the "moment".
