... and the budgie came too

I'm being a bit cheeky posting this in FOR2022. Came across it searching for something else in the archive.

Me and my 'sis' of course. I think our dad looks a bit pensive in the main pic: caravan holiday with the budgie in its cage.

Top left I'm wearing my stripey woollen swimsuit. Bottom right is Sherry in the baked beans box, the pug puppy who came to live with us one Christmas,1959 I think. She had a good life and I still have a fondness for pugs.
I love this! So full of fun and nostalgia.

A wonderful nostalgic shot. You also brought back memories of my childhood when we used to go to a summer cottage and, of course, bring our budgie with us. I hadn’t thought of that in ages.

It's OK, (I think) all budgies are Joey!! You have made me chuckle

Ooh holidays in the lovely UK….foreign holidays were not the norm in those days but we had lots of fun never the less! Taking the budgie too would be a little unusual but saved having a budgie sitter!

I doubt we let it out of the cage to fly around the caravan, though!!

I don't think sitters of any kind were the norm then - if you had a dog, it also went on holiday?!

@quietpurplehaze That’s true!!
