Yes, it’s @andysantics48’s birthday today, so I’m going to call on big sister privilege and embarrass her with some photos from her childhood. But then I’ll make it up to her by giving her all the SBD from this post. If you didn’t catch it at the weekend, she already had a her birthday celebration a few days early and wrote about it here.
Wasn’t she cute? And jeepers, wasn’t our back garden overgrown?
First year at school. Grandma used to walk up to our house every day and get us all off to work and school. That included doing her youngest grandchild’s hair. Some days it was more even than others…
At 7, she already loved horse riding.
I seem to have missed quite a few years, cos we’ve got to about 18. This one shows how like Andy her daughter Amy is, to me.
With Dad. I think this was her 21st family dinner. Yes, it was the early 90s, and we were all still in puffs, frills and big shoulders from the 80s.
She’s going to kill me (just as well she lives 5 hours drive away), but I can’t resist going right back to babyhood and including this photo with our cousin Rogan, who’s a year older.
I absolutely love this photo, it always makes me giggle, and something about it always reminds me of Grandma.
Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed these family photos, despite the quality being pre digital, so not that great!
