They do see the world in a different way!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Yes,...Thank you all for taking the time to comment. Yes, I wish I had more photographs of the ordinary things too. Somehow there are great holes in the stuff that people choose to snap - when did you last take a photo of a supermarket, a petrol station, your own house, the place where you work....No, me neither! I hadn't thought about the dress, Sue, but your right, another little detail that's changed without me noticing.John "By Stargoose And Hanglands"https://www.blogger.com/profile/00832873074550725579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-37690854912164572942011-06-16T22:25:35.613+01:002011-06-16T22:25:35.613+01:00Wonderful, I so wish I had some of my family doing...Wonderful, I so wish I had some of my family doing 'ordinary' things.jennyfreckleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12221511824958069710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-68523639533354034652011-06-14T07:18:12.513+01:002011-06-14T07:18:12.513+01:00The first photo is a superb piece of domestic hist...The first photo is a superb piece of domestic history, we had no TV either until I was nine years old and evenings were spent reading, playing board games, listening to the radio and so on. Do you remember Children's Hour on the radio? I loved the Romany programmes and loathed Larry the Lamb!Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-20801320386255744632011-06-14T03:53:02.860+01:002011-06-14T03:53:02.860+01:00I was fascinated by the first picture, John.

Your mother in a dress (how many women wear them around the house today?) and everyone busy and quite unaware of all they were missing! What a great photo.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-77454623966323191102011-06-14T01:47:15.118+01:002011-06-14T01:47:15.118+01:00I can never take a decent picture!

I just take blurry ones and hope for the best! Thank you for the pictures, John.
