A PHOTO A DAY.....number EIGHT (ca 1927)

Found this delightful photo when delving through iPhoto and had to share it with you.  It would have been taken ca 1927 in Meriden, Warwickshire (now known as the West Midlands).


Enjoying a hay ride here are Cyril (Phil's dad, prior to his marriage in 1929) with his sister-in-law Hilda (wife of his brother Charles) and little Mollie aged perhaps 2.  Mollie was born in June 1925 and that's how I determined it possibly would be 1927.

This is another snap emailed to us by Mollie's husband Leslie and I just love it so much.  Many folk may have been quite poor back then but it was still a wonderful life.  Whoa!  I wasn't born then  ... not for another 5 or so years and the world had to wait a couple more years for Phil to make his appearance.  We were still none of us very well off as that then was the time of the Great Depression.
