Hurray! Hurray! Pink Hydrangeas are coming back.

These beautiful Hydrangeas are flowering almost as well as the old ones did back in 1993!  I do love them and they bring back so many lovely family memories of my Mama and Poppa's home in Strathfield. 
Same place photographed today.

 'Nar Vale' Poppa and Mama's home in Strathfield with Tim about 2 years and Pennie about 5 years.  (No colour photos back in those days, these were blue Hydrangeas behind us.)

Some beautiful old photos of some beautiful people and one very beautiful home.

My cousin Simon came across these old slides and has turned them into photos!  Wow!  Just loving them.

Our beautiful Mama with my sister Meredith on her lap and Tony, our favourite 'Uncle Toenails' 😆 and I'm not quite sure who the man standing on the left is.
Just loved Mama's garden bushy but with lots of lovely Azaleas as well.
Even the name is beautiful isn't it.

No longer like this now, there are two rather large homes on this block now.

Photo a Day Challenge - 11/8/2021 - Month of Gratitude.

So Grateful to my cousin Simon who found the negatives of these beautiful and very heart warming photos, they would have been taken in our garden, where the tennis court now is, back in February 1976, we're celebrating my Mama's 80th Birthday, those two adoring Great Grandchildren are Nerys and Tomos, just look at their faces and that of Mama's as well... soo lovely.

That's Penniedarling in the first photo with short hair!  David behing and my favourite Uncle Tony kneeling down, probably lighting the candles.

Photo a Day Challenge - 3.2.2021 - Something Beautiful.


 My Mama made this beautiful embroidered and laced tablecloth, many many moons ago, I do use it occasionally but only for very special occasions.

This photo was taken of us by a Street Photographer way back in about 1948, don't see them anymore do we.

Photo a Day Challenge - 3.4.2020 - A Month of Gratitude.

 How lucky was I to have known my maternal Grandparents so well, we lived with them on and off at Strathfield, such loving people who had all the time in the world for us. 
Above... Pennie and Mama photo snapped by a street photographer
( 😊 Street Photographers are long gone but there again... everyone seems to be taking photos in the streets nowadays.)

Below... Mama and Poppa visiting us in Wagga Wagga, that's my little sister Meredith and my little brother Tim enjoying their lunch? or something?

Here are the three of us on the same verandah at Wagga in 1953.
