Friendship with this Gang below is also 75 years old! Well the three of us on the right, Sue, Pennie & Rosie were all born in the same year, the three on the left, Felicity, Christine and Jenny are siblings and were born a few years later.

I recently received a complaint from one of these young things.

I put the three of us on the left of this photo up on my PAD 30th Jan 'Trio'... one of the two on the right made a complaint, not saying who but you have probably guessed it wasn't the chap on the far right 😀😀😀😀😀

Here's another photo taken at the same time... without Sue and Rosemary's heads being cut off but that boy is still trying to get away from all those girls!

Photo a Day Challenge - 5.1.2018 - Three.

Our mothers started School together way back in the late 1920's. The Photographer managed to get her own daughter's head in this photo but not the other two.
Sue, Rosie and Pennie... below Sue, Pennie and Rosie... we've known each other more than 72 years!

Photo a Day Challenge - 10.6.2016 - Partial.

My Mum Rosie was good at taking 'Partial' photos, Rosemary in the middle has most of her head cut off and Sue on the left is missing the top of her head but I guess the most important person (aka Penniedarling) in the photo has all her head, just missing a bit of ribbon and it looks like a tooth or two, but that's not Rosie's fault.

Happy 70th Birthday to my longest known friend... Rosie Dash!

Rosie (yes named after my mother), Pennie and Smurray.

We first met in 1945. We were all born in 1945... which must mean that we all turn 70 this year! Yikes!

Rosie's mother Aunty Phyl and my mother met when they were 5 years old, they held hands as they walked into their classroom on that first day of school... Smurray's mother was Aunty Phyl's older sister.

Smurray (real name Sue, Sue Murray), Rosie and Pennie (I was sometimes known as Prodd, or Proddy), this photo was taken in 1949, we are 4 years old and aren't we cute and adorable and check out Rosie's beautiful Sandals... I just noticed! I was always the shortest wasn't I?

Sue and Rosie are in dresses... I never liked dresses, never have and I guess I never will now, stubborn little thing aren't I!!

Happy 70th Birthday Rosie, I hope you are having a lovely day.
