Get to know me......

photographs copyright 2007
I was feeling very nostaligic yesterday so I started looking through old photographs.

I thought you might like to see who you're talking to, so this is me.............

Aged about one with Mum, Dad and Teddy.







Here's me and Mum, I think I'm about three here.






I'm five here. Dad took me to a photographer to have this taken. I'm all dolled up in my new dress and my patent shoes. I loved those shoes!


This was the dress I wouldn't take off unless Mum promised to have it washed, dried and ironed for the next morning!




This is a school photograph taken when I was fourteen, when MWM fell in love with me.







At twenty-two and a Mum already.








Here's me at 40, on holiday in Turkey. I wasn't drinking wine that night, it looks like Raki and water!





And here I am today. Actually the photo is a couple of years old, but I haven't changed very much, apart from my hair is a different style and I've got a couple more wrinkles!




My knee
Monday 7th May
A step back today, it's quite stiff so I guess I'll have to do more exercises today.

  1. Lovely to see you through the years!! I received a scanner for my birthday and I can't wait to get it all set up so I can scan some of my old family photos! :o)

    Sorry to hear the knee isn't doing too well, I hope you are much better very soon :o) {{HUGS}}

  3. What wonderful photos ~ you are so pretty!! And what a precious little girl you were, too. It is such a good idea to post the photos of yourself. You're right, now I can picture you in my mind when I read your blog! Hope your knee loosens up today ~ Dawn :)

    We have had a scanner for a while but I only learnt how to use it yesterday. Now I'm busy looking through all our photographs!

    I'm sure my knee will be fine I just need to exercise it more to loosen it up. Thanks for the good wishes.

  12. Great pictures- You are even more beautiful now than at 22. And you were very pretty then. I actually think most women get better looking through the years.
    At least I'm hoping so.

    Keep up with the exercises for that knee. Pretty soon you'll be jumping rope

  30. What a wonderful post. I don't know if I could find either the photos or courage to show the awkward years. Looks like you skipped right through them and still look great.
