Christmas 1980

Yet  again awful  negs  I wished id looked after them better Christmas eve and Thomas goes up to bed to hang up his stocking  .He is 3 year old and we are sleeping at  his nanas and grandads as we did every year..



his toys  were  ready for him the next morning. All laid out on the sofa. We bought him a bike as well. I loved spending  Christmas  at my  mam and dads. The memories came flooding back, dad always cooked a  breakfast  that we never ate as we all stuffed our selves silly  with chocolate.  I can still remember the excitement  of exchanging  gifts. Mam cooked the Christmas dinner . No matter how old you get there's nothing like your mothers cooking. I always got bath cubes  which I loved  the equivalent  of bath bombs now I suppose .Every thing was orange and brown in the late seventies early  eighties  and seeing my  mothers  furniture brought memories flooding back! 





I love the calendar on the tv....the tiny tv that is! I remember Thomas loved the bright orange horn on his bike.


I can see my dad in the background and I cant believe I've cut off his head....Thomas  surrounded in toys and  his dad  sorting things out. Probably putting stuff together .I remember the drum  my  mam  bought him... and the noise!!!




 yet again old neglected  negatives  but still happy happy memories  x
