Grandmother.


I thought you might like to see some vintage Photographs this first is one is of my Grandmother, her Christian names, Irene Violet, May.
I had changed the colour in the picture to use in a scrapbook page. Violets were a favourite flower of hers. I can remember it was particularly hard to find wild violets in the spring woods, I would usually have to cycle a few miles to Brocks Copse to pick some for her.
