I've started a little project ...

... I'm scanning (on the fantabulous new scanner Mr Brown brought home this afternoon) all my mum's old photos. Then I'm going to burn them all onto discs so my siblings and I all have a copy (with any luck this should stop any undignified squabbling over who gets the photos on mama's deathbed).
Here are a just few I've already managed to get into digital format.
My Pa (in the middle) as a very, very young sailor.My mum, 1957, in Hyde Park, posing for a Telegraph photographer (I think it wasn't such a ghastly piece of gutter tabloid-ism back then).Mum, Dad & Me (middle boat), 1969ish? (don't know where, or who the others are, must ask Mum).

That's cool. I did the same thing with my family's old photos when I first got a scanner.

It was fun.

MG - it may well take me the rest of my natural life to finish though!
Lee - they are indeed, I grumble but I'm really having fun :)

Love these pics !

I want those chairs the sailors are sitting on ( how shallow of me )

They'd be cane chairs, my parents did have some, years and years ago. We children picked them to bits, slowly over the years.
