In my recent post https://derrickjknight.com/2023/05/26/different-hair-colour/ I featured photographs of Jackie and Ellie, and of Jackie and Flo as a baby. Becky has now e-mailed me two photographs of herself with her daughter as a baby, taken by Jackie.
I can now feature these images alongside each other.
Shortly before lunch Jackie drove me to Sears Barbers in Milford on Sea for a haircut. Peter has retired and I was shorn by Tracy.
This afternoon I converted the following post from Classic to Blocks edit:
This evening we all dined at the Britannia Thai restaurant in Milford on Sea. I really enjoyed my prawn Jungle Curry with special fried rice; I am not sure what the others’ meals were called but everyone found them excellent. While Flo drank water the rest of us drank very potable Singha beer.
Jackie photographed Ellie and me at the table.
Loved this read????stay blest y’all
Thanks very much RN
Unsure how the question marks got in my comment though???? they were not meant to be there. God bless.

Some sites do this with all emojis. I just use the keyboard : and ) for 🙂
Beautiful family photos!
Thanks very much, Merril
Great summer haircut, Derrick!
Thanks very much, Bridget
Oh my, your family photos are so precious, guys! Thanks for sharing. I like your new haircut, Derrick, you have far more hair than I do! ????????????
Thank you so much, John
❤️❤️
Precious family pictures.
Thank you very much, Andy
You’re welcome
Singha is the only beer I have ever tasted that I liked. I first tasted it in Thailand, of course, but was never able to find it again until I lived in L.A. and met a very nice gentleman–can’t remember where. In class at UCLA or perhaps in a coffee shop and don’t know how the subject came up but turns out he had a case of it in his trunk! He offered to give me some and came to my apt. to deliver it. It was all very friendly and we were talking and my boyfriend got home and hit the roof! I’d never seen him that way. He was like a bantam rooster. Needless to say, I didn’t get my Singha beer and within the year that live-in boyfriend was no longer around as well. I think he was projecting his own personality on that very nice man who meant no harm…Or perhaps my boyfriend saved me from a serial killer? We’ll never know, but I’ve never tasted Singha beer since.
Thanks very much, Judy. We all really liked it
Love your new haircut. Ellie looks like she’s very familiar with the camera. I had a refreshing white wine sangria in DC a few days ago.

The thought occurs to me, Do children like curry, as much as adults do? Or is the spicy taste just too much for them?
I think children and adults are similar in this respect – both prefer mild at first – some then increase the heat – some never do. Ellie likes very mild korma sauce – so did Flo. Thanks very much, John
Sweet beautiful smiles and mom and daughter times!
Does Peter still cut your hair? I remember you mentioning him in a post years ago.
Your new ‘do looks good! Little Cooper got his nails done and his hair did this week…so he’s lookin’ like a new man! (Ha!)
You and Ellie look like you are ready to eat!
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks very much, Carolyn. Peter has retired. Jackie has been cutting it for a while but I am returning to the same barbers with different staff. X
Oh, I hope Peter has a great retirement!
I love the additions to the mother/daughter/grandmother sequence!
Thank you very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Excellent three generation panel.
Thanks very much, Tootlepedal
Nice haircut!
Lovely generational photos
Thank you very much, Dale
My pleasure!
It’s pure delight to see such generational pairings. It would be wonderful to record a set like this on an annual basis as the children grow.
That is a good idea, Linda. Thank you very much
A well-behaved baby!
Thank you very much, Barbara
My younger brother and his lovely Thai wife(sadly deceased) used to run a fabulous Thai restaurant (Jasmine) in Ballarat … It was an extremely popular eatery destination for the locals’ Derrick …
I’ll bet it was, Ivor. Thank you very much
Such wonderful photos, Derrick. Thanks for sharing.
Much appreciated, Jill
How fast the years go by! No more very spicy curries for me, just the mild 🙁
Thanks very much, Rosaliene
Sweet baby pictures! Britannia Thai sound like a nice place. I like the name.
Indeed, JoAnna. It is 8 years since we last visited there. We won’t wait so long again
Lovely photos of the gardens and the pictures of mothers and daughters.
Lovely! So glad you could bring everything together ????
Thank you very much, Val
Sweet babies!
Thanks very much, Laurie
You have a beautiful, loving, multi-generational family, Derrick and Jackie. ❤️
Thank you very much from us both, Lavinia X
Excellent haircut! Your generational panel is very interesting to see. Photographs are a good reminder of how our children and grandchildren are growing up – and record our own ageing 🙂
Quite so, Anne. Thank you very much
Such memories. Beautiful.
Thanks very much, Ruopali
You can see the family resemblance in those photos.
Thank you very much, Sheree
Pleasure Derrick
I love those mother-daughter photos! And your meal sounds delicious. Bob & I both love Thai food. Looks like Tracy did a good job on your haircut. Cute of Ellie looking over her shoulder. She’s sure growing!
Thank you so much, Jan
I enjoyed seeing those photos side by side. How nice to have others bring together the collection that you’ve shared here. You look terrific with your new barber cut, and Ellie looks well-prepared for the meal with a collection of toys.
Thank you so much, Alys. The toys give Ellie something to chew on 🙂
Ah yes. I remember those days.
thanks for sharing your wonderful day
Much appreciated Catherine
Nice haircut, Derrick! I love the side by side photos.
Thank you very much, Eugi
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Lovely to see the family photos side by side. Ellie looks like she is posing for the camera.
Thank you very much, Dolly
You are very welcome, Derrick.
Derrick, you are looking very fit and fine. Those pics of the mothers/daughters/granddaughters/ great granddaughters taken by the mothers and daughters are precious. Thank you for sharing.
Many thanks, Jodie
You are looking rather gaunt Derrick. I hope you are well
Thanks very much, Geetha. It must be the haircut 😉
It’s such fun to see these pictures, Derrick.
Thank you so much, Robbie
