Vintage Photo Friday...

Once again, I'm copying Ellen who always has the best blogging ideas! Her and her friends have started posting vintage photos on a Friday. It's such a fun idea that I thought I'd join in too!

Most of my family photos are back at my Mum & Dad's in NZ, but I do have one or two I can share with you. This week's picture is of me and my Brother at a Fancy Dress contest circa 1970. My Brother is supposed to be Oliver Twist and I'm a Gypsy! I don't even remember this picture being taken, which shows I haven't been permanently damaged in any way by the experience!

The funny thing is, that most people when they see this photo, think that I'm the boy and my brother is a girl! Because he had lovely big curls and blue eyes when he was little, I used to have people say to me "isn't your little sister lovely"! which annoyed him intensely.

We still tease him to this day about how he used to say very loudly and indignantly "I'm a Boy" whenever he met anyone new!


Found in My Junk Drawer

Looking at the photo now, it's quite hard to believe that yesterday, that same little boy turned 41. Happy Birthday Jase!

Oh! What a sweet photo, Claire! You were a sassy little Gypsy! Looks like your brother got caught licking the chocolate bowl!
