My father with his parents, Cyril and Violet in 193?, captured by a street photographer.



Cyril and Violet (seated) celebrate their golden wedding anniversary at the Old Forge, Hallam, with my grandmother's sisters (l to r) Joan, Ethel and Kathleen, my father and- the gawky one in the middle- me.

i really like the pictures you've been posting. and you look so sweet in this last one!

p.s. been meaning to say hi - coincidentally i am sort-of on your patch of turf as i'm in the middle of term in oxford at the moment. a lot of the photos you take of churches and castles and so on look much more familiar to me now!

Thanks.

Oxford is extraordinarily beautiful. Are you getting about much? Any chance of you visiting this part of the country?

it is! took me a while to settle in but i am getting about more now - went down to london a couple of weeks ago, will probably spend some time there before my flight home for christmas (unless i go to wales, which is the other plan). so i might end up visiting manchester - will let you know if i do. drop me an email or something if you are ever around oxford!
