FIANCÉS galore




My grandmother is alleged (according to my mother) to have had a few fiancés prior to meeting my grandfather and settling down. One of these was a chap called Bob Rayner who went out to South Africa around 1900. It was intended that Nana would follow him out there but her mother would not let her. She kept mementoes of him in her personal case until the day she died.

Icicle



They don't make icicles like this any more. I took this photo in early 1963.
