I also was born in England but in Yorkshire even though my parents lived in London.

I need some feed back as to what people enjoy and what things I need to expand on.<br /><br />My Dad was wicked but in a lovable sort of way :) Last time we went to Bathe we discovered that it was very mixed internationally. Probably with lots of visitors, but there seemed to be every language being spoken there. <br /><br />Keep well DianeDianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782670749466305626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4093019155556449576.post-64370137626493548142012-05-25T08:28:14.000-07:002012-05-25T08:28:14.000-07:00Thanks Dolly, the fox was a talking point for many...Thanks Dolly, the fox was a talking point for many years :)<br /><br />I had been thinking of a book for many years, but then I decided that it would never get done. Blog was my next best idea but as I say it may be a bit erratic!<br /><br />That photo at Land's End I only discovered quite recently going through my Mum's things. It is very small, but thankfully, the place and date were on the back and with scanning I could blow it up. My Mum has not marked every photo that I have found, but she has written on the ones that I think are more important. I wish she was here now to help me with this blog, her memory was amazing. Thanks for following.

What characters they were!<br /><br />I think it is wonderful you are writing, and illustrating with photos, these special memories of yours. It is a good start on an autobiography Diane.<br /><br />By the way, the photo of you and your father at Land's End is just so lovely and I can imagine how very precious it must be to you.
