A Few More From Day's Gone By

There are some real treasures in this lot.  This one is the 'first' Almyra (my dad named his boat the same, Al for my Mum's older sister Alice and Myra for my mum). 

On the boat my mum's beloved big brother Fred and his wife Gwen, who also happens to be my Dad's sister, along with my Grandad Hercules.

 My Mum's family, in the only official and dressed up family portrait.  This photo was in my home as we grew up - I wonder where the original has gone?  Mum the little one int he middle.

My Dad's family, photo taken in Hobart Tasmania - before Dad was born though! 
There are 5 of his siblings in this photo, he was number 6 of 7.

 There are not too many of Carol, but his one is a cutie and a real find.  Carol with cousin Leonie

The whole crew from the Rocks. We usually had similar photos taken at the beginning of each school year. Me front left in the grey uniform, sister Carol three along in the front and big sister Linda in the rather oversized beret in the back row!  I wonder why they lined us up in front of a car?
Still trying to work out the little boy in the front - he looks like a ring in!

 Little me at around six months of age by the look, don't really know for sure.

 Little me with the dog and the chook.

 Baby sister Carol - we couldn't be more different!  Me with blonde curls and Carol with black curls!

 Here we are again, the girls cousins: me, Linda, Leonie, Keryn, Carol and Rosemary.

The girls cousins in this photo, me, Linda, Leonie, Carol were a little closer in relationship - boy meets girl, boy introduces little sister to girl's little brother, they get married, they get us - get the picture :)

 Below is my absolute favourite.  I don't know the occasion, but I suspect it was a special one for most of the family to be 'dining' al fresco.

 My Grandmother in the front, my Grandad to the right and my Mother next to him.

Just love it!  I wish I could crawl into the photo and experience the occasion with them all.
