One more. This has to be my favourite.



That's my granny, Violet, in the bottom right hand corner. I'd know those eyes anywhere. Her sisters Kathleen and Ethel are sitting at the far left. I think Joan (dear Aunt Joan) may be the blonde kid in the middle.

They were the Bridges girls. Their father had a shop (millinery, I think) in Maidstone, Kent.

I don't know what's going on- amateur theatricals?  a fancy dress party?- or who the others are. The date must be round about the outbreak of the First World War.

These are lovely photos, thank you for posting them!

You look a lot like your granny, especially around the eyes.

You're the second person to spot a resemblance.

I'd never seen it myself, but I'm happy to acknowledge it. She was a kind, sweet lady.
