Snapshots of a Suffolk childhood

I was nearly four when she was born. Photos in my montage taken by our father, black and white film of course. Only one chance at each shot. I think he had a good eye for a photo.

The photo bottom left appeals: we two grappling with the pushchair, the deckchair in the distance and me in my knitted swimsuit!

I imagine the shot bottom right was staged: we did both learn to play the piano but I have no memory of playing a duet.

You are so lucky your dad took many photos!! it's a beautiful collage full of memories - I think you need to print it and frame it as it is :)

What a terrific collage - they don't look very different from ones I have of my early childhood.

@milaniet

Yes I guess we all did the same things - go to the seaside, learn to play the piano!

A nice collection for you if the memories were happy. I have nothing like that but I'm not sorry... the memories are not good!
