Stonehenge

What to share today for Saturday Snapshot? I went out with my camera yesterday, but only had a short and very wet walk. Will this rain ever end? So my next plan was to look through some old photographs and try to scan one. I have done this successfully before, but this time the results were so grainy that you really could see nothing. I will have to consult my technical department, otherwise known as hubby.


So this is still a scan of an old photo, but one my sister put on facebook a few months ago. This was back in the 1960's, the days when you were allowed to get up really close to Stonehenge. I can see why you aren't allowed to these days, and must just count myself lucky. I am the little blonde one, and my sister in astride the rock. My dad must have taken the photo, and I love the way he has got us central, but the whole of one of the iconic rocks. He was a clever man. Up to now most of our family photos had been black and white. Also notice our anoraks and hairbands - quite the fashion back then. It is a bit of shame you can't see what we had on under our coats - as it was probably handknitted!
