1980

1981

This is me in 1981 when I was 18 years old and had just completed my foundation art course at Hounslow Borough College. I was on my way to Maidstone College of Art to study printmaking. For the Flashback Friday pool on flickr.

1965

watercolour on cardboard by Annie White 1965

My Mum, Annie kept a scrapbook of photographs, cuttings, paintings and drawings until I was 5 years old. It is a really special book which documents the early 60s and is full of wonderful pictures and her beautiful artwork.

Flashback Friday

Uncle John, Granny, Mum, Grandpa and me in 1965 in Oxford Gardens, London W10.

We are all wearing hand-knitted jumpers ! My Mum used to dress me in black pinafore dresses and black tights and I am wearing her cameo brooch. I also had lovely zip up ankle booties, with the zips at the front which I still covet to this day. This is for a new group on flickr, Flashback Friday - a great reason to sift through old photographs. There is a theme every week and the pictures have to be pre 1985. This week was group shots.
