Due to the screeds of spare time I have at the moment I've been able to dedicate quite a few hours to the large, continuously, never-ending ongoing project of scanning in family photos for our hallway gallery.
I came across this lovely old envelope in a tin-box of photos the Other Harf's mother gave to us. Those times of sending film off to labratories for days or even weeks on end seems so, so far away now in this convenient age of digital. Remember when you had to buy "film"!?
As well as the Other Harf's old family photos I've also been lucky enough to have some old family albums lent to me by Dad's eldest brother and was able to scan in pages and pages of photos, including one which I've never seen before of my great-grandmother as a child. Many of the photos need touching up in Elements, but some of them are still in great shape.
Mum has custody of all of her family albums so I'm fortunate enough to have photos of my great-grandparents and great-great grandparents on her side too.
These two lovely ladies are my grandmothers: Dad's Mum/my Granny Margaret ("Peggy"), Kiwi born to Scottish parents) and Mum's Mum/my Nana Marjory ("Marj"), who was born in Boston, USA, and emigrated here as a war-bride in 1946.
