I have a few photos of groups of cousins (or brothers and sisters). All photos have at least 3 characters.

A picture taken in Sept 1966 just before Grandpa and Grandma left for the Holy Land (see their Holy Land account); there was a frog in Carmel's bucket which drew a lot of attention! A cute pic of Teresa!

Rare pic of Maggie on this blog... she was a blonde!

Well, it didn't last very long!

I need to have later photos of you Chris!

There! If you have some other ones, please, send me to me, I'll post them ASAP. Remember that "group" means more than 2 cousins together, and that I stop photos after 1988 (when the Derwent road houses were both sold).

Hi, Hélène just sent me this: a handbag which Grandpa had given her as a present back in 1970 or 1971, presumably after returning from a trip in Italy (Rome?)

It's my go! Here are some photos which have not yet appeared on this blog!

Tongue in cheek!

Some say the next one is in fact Paco:

Happy days:

Something wrong underneath:

All that English food!

the picture above had been enlarged and was up in Grandma's front room:

I like Tini's face on this one:

Charles at "Auntie's": this is how he would refer to 9 Derwent road later in life. But what I wonder is where would he have slept? In the room above the dining room? BTW, this makes me think: how were each of the rooms called? Front room and back room, OK, but next to the kitchen? I wonder if Grandma didn't call her kitchen the "scullery", and therefore the dining-room would have been the kitchen! Help! Oh, and upstairs? Top back room? I'll have to check, and write a post with the plan of the house!! Any precise information welcome! Anyway, here goes, Charles, our reigning figure of the day!

Doing the right thing for the press

Nearly finished, dearie.

Good-looking hair - but the trousers?? Cath looks worried the photographer went so low...

He looks cool enough here though.

Is he really convinced it's useful?

Ah, he's natural all right, here!

And here too!

First time I see him with a checkered cardigan... (thanks Mary for the picture!)

Funny how the mention of a jumper makes photos appear! Thanks Tini for this one (must be during one of Charles' stays at 9DR in 1959)!

The following day was haircut!

Give us somming to eat, Dad!

Who's this strange guy with his big black box looking at us? (the parents look great)

"I think I wanna go home now..."

Nice jacket - wonder why he didn't stick to that syle!

1980, twenty years have passed

(same day, with Carol - He was wearing a plastic nose & glasses! Hope he won't mind me posting this series)

Back to the roots!

1985 At our wedding.

There are many photos of Hélène at 9 Derwent... Check here for a first series. This is a second one, focussing on the first years.

To be continued...
