Well I promised you more and here it is: Some very old photos from Mum's album. I'll be using some of them in the new edition of Barbar's diaries (to be released imminently).
We start with one from 1915-ish - dates are approximate - and end in 1965 with the arrival of Paul. Mum, do tell me if dates need correcting.

I love looking at all these wonderful pics. The third photo titled 'Bill and Cherry's wedding' is actually Christopher Hudson's christening. Grandpa Gibbs is holding Serena aged 3 who definitely wasn't born out of wedlock....in a rather uncomfortable grasp! No sign of Bill and Cherry anywhere!
