Friday Photo Flashback!

As I am still waiting for my scanner I can not post 'Eventful Holidays!' as the photos are not yet on the computer, so I have decided to post pictures of me with my grandparents.

These are the only pictures I have of me with both my sets of grandparents. They mean a lot to me as three of them have now passed away.

My Nanna, Grandad, my cousin Jayne and me, Easter 1975 when I had just started walking. My Grandad passed away when I was eight years old so I only vaguely remember him but my Nanna lives with my Auntie, who lives next door to my Mum!!!



This is me in 1976 and I will have been about two and a half with my Grandma and Grandad. I miss them every day especially as they were the last link really that held our family together after my dad passed away. My Grandad also gave me away when I got married and gave the most wonderful speech which left all the guests in tears, something I will never forget!



For more fabulous Friday Photo Flashbacks (which I have to say is my favourite posting day of the week) visit Alicia at More Than Words!

  2. What sweet pictures! I wish I was able to know my grandparents on my fathers side, but they lived in the Philippines. But, I am close to my maternal grandparents.

  6. You are sooo lucky you have pics of your grandparents!! These are great! So sweet!

    Ok...what is a captcha (you have "no-reply" so I can't send you an e-mail; therefore, I'm going to post there. XP
    To get rid of captcha, go to your
    DASHBOARD
    select SETTINGS
    select the COMMENTS tab
    scroll down until you see "Show Word Verification for Comments?" That's the Captcha.
    select NO to get rid of it if you want.
    Then click on SAVE SETTINGS
    Also, before leaving the COMMENTS tab, you can select who can comment on your blog (I do Users with OpenID only. Default is ANYONE and that includes anonymous.

    If you want people to reply to your comments directly to your e-mail, you need to get rid of your no-reply. Just make sure you have selected YES to have your comments notified by e-mail as well, first.

    Go back to the DASHBOARD
    Next to your profile picture,
    click on EDIT PROFILE
    Under PRIVACY, select SHOW MY E-MAIL ADDRESS.

    Hope this helps!
    Sorry so long, and I hope it's not too confusing.

  7. Thanks for that, I didn't know that word verification thing was even on and I didn't know how to show my email, so thanks for that - you wouldn't believe my husband works in IT!
