Totally Agree

[Margaret Pilkington]

I like the 'Lady Yvonne' picture. It has elegance, poise and a delicacy about it.

[Gremlin]

Thank you both for the kind words. This is Lady Yvonne taken recently.
She is still as sweet as ever and she rings me about once a month from Swanland where she lives. Originally a Hebden Bridge lass.

[Margaret Pilkington]

A beautiful girl turned into a beautiful lady......please tell her I love her picture.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Russell, your new additions to the comp are charming.
I like them a lot.

[Gremlin]

I will do that Margaret.
Yvonne is a real down to earth lass and gets stuck into village life, even donning waders when it's time to clean out the village duck pond.

I was with her last weekend at her mother's (my aunty) 98th birthday.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Mick, that is a lovely shot of you with your Mum and Laddy.

[Turtle]

I agree, Margaret. What a lovely turn this Comp. is taking! Not all of us have youngsters readily available for recent snaps, but the entries are showing ingenuity and fond memories. I hope more members post theirs soon

[Margaret Pilkington]

I do too. I like looking at these older black and white pics.
I know they aren't as polished and perhaps not as clear as the digital pics, but they take me back to an age when things seemed a bit more sedate - not naive, but gentle.
OK. I'll take of the rose tinted ones now and put my old ones back on

Have been looking at the entries and am in a real quandary - how the heck can I choose just one out of all those beautiful pictures. I like them all - maybe I'll use the system that I have when making a selection in the Melbourne Cup - just close my eyes and point!!!!!

[Margaret Pilkington]

Dotti - sometimes that is the ONLY way to do it!

[Margaret Pilkington]

I just wish that more people had entered.
