I wonder where we were when this was taken? My mum and her two sisters and brother. There are only four of us children, me and my sister, and my two cousins; they would have a brother and sister within a few years. Later my aunty sitting on the far right would marry, and my uncle at the back would marry, and he would have two daughters. All three men, dad and two uncles had served in the war; my dad was a paratrooper, one uncle was on the Arctic patrols, the other an airman.
We are still very close as a family, but we are now the older generation. We all have children, sixteen between us, and some of them have families too. if there was a photo for a family picnic now, and we were all present, there would be eight grandchildren! Times change, but family is family!
