To follow up on Margaret's photo, what was I doing in 1958 ?
Here is a photo of my Grandmother, my brother and I (I'm the elder on the left). It's scaring to think that my Grandmother was born in 1870 !
Now two comments to relate this post with other recent posts on this community :
1. As you can see, I wear a tie (and I wonder why my brother doesn't wear one !).
2. On the bottom right of the photo, you can see a "boot scraper". I have checked that ALL the houses in the street had (and still have) one, "carved" in the stone. But almost all of them have lost their metal bar. Needless to say that nobody uses them any more.

All of you had very kind looking faces. That's a special photo.
ReplyDeleteAnn Kennedy Than you !
ReplyDeleteWe were what we now call the "older generation" !
well,I do like your work,many of us feels the same.You were a little gentleman,or did your Mother made you wear the tie.Hadsome Trio.
ReplyDeleteGood looking family. Funny to think that while I was running around on the farm you were over there scraping your boots and tying your tie. : )
ReplyDeleteNadya Domino I don't pretend I was a little gentleman, and my mother did not make me wear a tie for the photograph.
ReplyDeleteWearing a tie was not a question. It was part of the normal everyday dress.

Wonderful photo. As for the tie, my father always wore one all his life, wherever he went. As you say, it was part if life,
ReplyDeleteLaurent TRUILLET My children went to school in England,My sons had to wear a tie,grey trousers,white shirt and the school color tie.
ReplyDeleteand of course the navy blue blazer..European loved uniforms.So understand the must tie wearing.
Nadya Domino I have had the same experience. I went to England on a school exchange in 1957 and all the boys were in the same uniform. Typically British !
ReplyDeleteIn Belgium, we only had the tie !
