I like very old photos. The people are long passed now, but the memories still remain. The people and the photos are just shadows, they fade. The first photo was taken in 1903. Granny was sixteen years old. Today she would be 134 years old! It was necessary for my grandmother and her cousins to stand for a long time without moving. Old cameras were a bit slow. I like new photos too. It's possible to take photos very quickly with a cell-phone. There are four generations in between Granny and the wee boy in the other photo. I am a link in a chain.

I'm a proper lazybones today. I found an old blog (August 2018) and decided to recycle it. I like reusing lots of things! I was brought up after the war, in a spirit of make do and mend. We didn't squander a single thing. I was satisfied with my verses in the first place, so why shouldn't I recycle them?
