Bits & Pieces...

You know, as I'm working through the old photos and stuff that Mum & Dad kept, I'm finding things that I was never really showed before... old letters and things from when we were kids - and I'd like to share this one with you...

It's a letter that Mum sent to Dad 2 days after I was born (I was born in Aberdeen, because there were some worries about Mum's blood group and things - and Dad had the family to look after, so he couldn't be with her) - It's not anything mind-blowing, or of great social and political importance... It's just a bit of my history (like my curl I showed you)...



(If you can't read the letter, click on the picture, and it should open in a new window - and it should be bigger, so it's readable).
