The Gallery : Black and White

This weeks Gallery theme is Black and white. So I decided to share the few original black and white photo's that I own, or have copies of. I really couldn't just choose one, sorry, but it was impossible. So I'll keep the words to a minimum and let the pictures do the talking.
My Paternal Grandfather. Taken around 1918 in Egypt
My Paternal Grandparents on their wedding day I'm guessing Pre 1920
My Dad with his Dad (he never lost that cheeky smile!)
My Mum Aged 17

Dad in his Navy uniform aged 17
My Mum, she always was my Dad's pin-up girl
Make sure you pop over to Sticky Fingers to see the other great Gallery posts too :o)

  1. They are utterly gorgeous. There is something so magical about an original black and white photo. You're so so lucky to have these as photos were quite rare back in the day. Brilliant

  2. My family set up is a bit strange. Maybe I should do a blog about it one day!! My parents were 'older' when they had me, hence the even 'older' grandparents. Just a pity I never met any of them x
