More Pictures My Parents Took

My grandmother and me at Batemans- Rudyard Kipling's gaff in Sussex. She and I are/were both ardent Kiplingites. (She actually got to meet him!) The date is going to be late 1960s.



My sister, my mother and me. I'm in my school uniform so it can't be any later than 1968.



My sister in her new school uniform. Ain't she cute!  (you said you were keen to see these, Jenny!)

Thoroughly enjoying these! They remind me of a show or two - the first, Doctor Who, whilst the second is more Smiley's People: the Early Years. =:)

(I'd say the red needs reining in a bit on the second especially, the third too - not that color calibration is a strong point for me, given my color perception's a bit wonky anyway, courtesy of a weakness in red/green)

The colour is only ever going to be approximate. The originals were very bleached- or rather blued out. I'll have another look at #2. I liked the way the light was being filtered through the red umbrella, but perhaps I overdid it.
