First is my grandparents, I think, before they were married (no ring on Grandma's hand) so possibly 1930 or so...
Grandpa was one of five, and this is the wedding of one of his sisters, Mildred - known to me as Aunty Mil, to Sidney - known to me as Uncle Sid. I have memories of going on the train to visit them. My sister and I travelled there, and stayed over - and I remember the shock and thrill of a bed prewarmed by an electric blanket - such decadence!
Next come two beautiful women, both aged around 18 but at very different times: Aunty Chris in 1928, and my mum in the late 1940s or early 50s.
Two women who have been so very important my life.
