My mum Rene (Alice Irene Flitney née Harding) died in 1999. When my brother, sister and I went through her things we found an envelope full of old newspaper clippings and other bits and pieces. We looked through the papers and put the envelope away, but those yellowing pieces of paper keep whispering of half-forgotten times and places. Places like Butlers Cross, Stoke Mandeville, Aylesbury, West Wycombe, Little Kimble, Wendover, Ellesborough, Southcourt and Princes Risborough.

Sepia Saturday 326 - Subject Technical Data








Don’t be fooled by the title of this post I won’t be providing much (if any) technical data.  I can tell you the proof sheet was produced by my husband. He used Kodak Safety Film, and the proof sheet is numbered from 0 to 35.  Kelly our Beagle is the subject of most of the photographs. Our son Steven features in a few of them, and I'm also present, but I would prefer to gloss over that!   Why do husbands delight in taking photographs of their wife’s bottom?  Perhaps I generalise, maybe it is only my husband who does it? 


Our lovely son Steven aged about eight. He is in his forties now with four children of his own.  



This is Kelly our much-missed Beagle. He was smart and funny, with a big personality and a double helping of mischief.


The 'bottom' shot top left.  Could it be any less flattering? 




Yet more non-technical data;

My two-month break from this blog turned into very nearly a five-month break while I dithered. Having the family over from Australia for a long holiday was wonderful, but I felt very low when they went home. I thought about all the things we should have done, and didn't and worried because they all had really nasty colds followed by chest infections (not surprising when you think of the number of hours spent in the air). Then our heating broke down, and we had no hot water and, and…  Putting all that aside we had a lot of fun and enjoyed being together (you can view some photos here and here should you wish). I started posting to my other blog when the family went home, but it took me a lot longer to get back to this one.  Anyway, I finally wrote a post last week, I also joined a new group; We Are Genealogy Bloggers and then took a look at Sepia Saturday and thought, hooray – I've got something that just might work. I hope it does!
