I love to see that honest childish face - I sometimes feel just the same inside now but don't like to show it. <br /><br />My mum had such a surprise to see this photo appear on my blog! She also remembers the occasion very clearly but has no idea where her other leg was...<br /><br />Full skirts have yet to make their comeback. Hmmmm.<br /><br />AxxxArtyZenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12628693178003940118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222502286514724902.post-44488370149199942912013-09-12T23:37:07.894+02:002013-09-12T23:37:07.894+02:00That's got me smiling reminiscently at some of...That's got me smiling reminiscently at some of my own childhood photos, Annie.

My dad had a cine camera and that was much more fun - I liked to be filmed and we used to love watching - without sound - our holiday antics later in the year. There's something very nostalgic about cine film, regardless of the content.<br /><br />Children are much better at the latest technology - my children think I'm hopeless, yet I worked in IT for years!<br />ArtyZenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12628693178003940118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222502286514724902.post-60203299246013521692013-09-10T22:13:14.205+02:002013-09-10T22:13:14.205+02:00I was not a big fan of having my photo taken eithe...I was not a big fan of having my photo taken either , not much as changed , but people insist on taking it..

Made me laugh to see it again. There's a matching one - taken only a few minutes later - with me 'smiling'. Obviously my mum got to me. You've never seen such a fake grimace in your life! Remember it well - it can be so odd to have all those attached memories flooding back, can't it?<br /><br />AxxxArtyZenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12628693178003940118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222502286514724902.post-42555381165512837912013-09-08T10:10:18.177+02:002013-09-08T10:10:18.177+02:00It was a wonderful haircut...

In those days, at least we were worried about not wasting too much film and only taking 24 or maybe 36 photos during a whole 2 week holiday. Now, digital photography, phone cameras etc mean every monet seems to be captured someway.

I particularly recall one where I was wearing a very smart red blazer (of course the pic was black and white but I remember the blazer colour), which would have been fine if my younger brother wasn't wearing one exactly the same...aargh!Ayakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16903896106779269050noreply@blogger.com
