When conversing with Flo about a set of photographs made at Lindum House in Newark some years ago, she told me that they were taken when she was a little older than I had thought. I then realised that I should have been looking for colour slides, not the negatives I had presumed lost. I scanned the pictures produced in May 2005.
Those I had particularly remembered were of our granddaughter playing with a frog from the pond, which aroused the interest of Matthew’s dog, Oddie.
Mat had also come up for a visit.
Louisa and Errol enjoyed a game of tennis. Oddie tried hard to join in.
Drinks were taken on the picnic bench.
Flo joined in the tennis, then,
no longer needing a push, enjoyed a swing. By now she had changed her attire,
as did Louisa and Errol, for an evening out.
This afternoon the four of us went shopping at Castle Point, near Bournemouth. We drove round and round the packed car park for ages before managing to leave the cars and do battle with other sales shoppers. New clothes for Flo, and a new handbag for Jackie were purchased.
This evening we all dined on Jackie’s delicious beef in red wine; mashed potato and swede, new potatoes, carrots, and runner beans. Ian drank Hoegaarden and I finished the Bordeaux.
lovely photos!
Many thanks, Lynn
It looks like it was a lovely day–with fond memories, Derrick.
Many thanks, Merril. Yep
Great memories from the past and a pleasant day in the present to complete the set. 🙂
Thanks a lot, Quercus
🙂
PS Forgot to say I hope you get well soon.
Great people photography. Your camera has preserved their infectious happiness.
Yes, isn’t that true? They all look so happy.
Many thanks, Uma
Lovely photos, Derrick. Louisa is a beauty!
Many thanks, Jill. She is
The old photos show a fun and spirited young girl, the frog and dog quite lively. The photo of Flowers leaning with frog in hand was my very favorite of this 2005 collection.
Then, I enjoyed the beautiful couple, Errol and Louisa, who show a glowing appearance with radiating smiles and countenances.
I enjoyed your description of shopping but felt bad about the challenge in parking.
Many thanks, as usual, Robin. A framed enlargement of that photo hangs on Becky’s wall to this day
Oh, this is such a great and fun photograph. I was hoping you had enlarged and framed it. Your photos are full of great memories.
Flo got transformed into “Flowers” without my noticing until posting my comment. Silly cellphone and me, too! ?
🙂
Nice photos Derrick.
Shopping in the sales – yuk! How brave you all were! Lovely photos as ever, Derrick.
Many thanks, Clare
Such happy faces and beautiful people! I love that shade of blue Louisa is wearing.
Thanks a lot, Lavinia. It was beautiful
From frogs to frocks, your Flo is adorable. I love going barefoot in the grass, although, a bit tricky if running for a tennis ball 😀 I’m much better at Badminton. We had an excellent spot for rounds in a neighbouring yard where I used to live in the country. Sadly, our city lot is much to small now, but it sure looks fun! Cheers, Boomdee
Many thanks, Boomdee. Nice bit of alliteration there
