Circa 1982

This is a photograph of my sister and I with our gran, which I think was taken in the summer of 1982, when I was ten years old and my sister was four.  It was taken in Gran’s back garden.

This photo makes me chuckle because you can clearly see that, even though there’s six years between my sister and I, we were often dressed the same.  Check out those rather fetching terry towelling shorts!  (All the rage in their day!  Honest!  LOL)   I like how we’re colour co-ordinated!  And what about those lovely knee-high socks?!   Also, you’ll notice that my sister and I had the same ‘pudding bowl’ hairdo!!

I particularly love this photo because it brings back lots of fond memories of my lovely gran, who is sadly no longer with us.

This photo was taken during the school holidays.  My sister and I spent much of the school holidays at our granparents’ house because Mum worked part-time.

We used to always visit my grandparents on a Friday evening and it was always great fun!  Gran, Grandpa and my uncles, who still lived there at the time, would always be laughing and joking.  My uncles always liked to wind my gran up with practical jokes, and I loved it when she would get a fit of the giggles!
