I have

… been rummaging in Granny’s goodie tin again (anything to keep warm) and have found these.
Now, the story with this torn photo, as told to me by my Granny was, ‘Well, when someone in the photo had been nasty, horrible, had done something ugly, they were torn out!’ That’s that! No chance to talk and sort the problem out! Heaven forbid that, that was the ultimate punishment for a misdeed!!! By the looks of this photo, there were two ‘bad’ people. The one on the right looks as though he could have been a teenager?!?!? Maybe he hid Granny's bed-pan in the cupboard, or he put his pet bull frog in there (for safe keeping) just assuming :)The backing on this photo is headed The Windsor Magazine. If you can’t make out what it says, e-mail me and I’ll let you know about the Inns of Quay on 13 January 1883, such as it was LOL headless bits and all!! (It was stuck upside down on the newspaper)

This couple also falls under Unknown Ancestors. You are welcome to use this image and the others that I have posted previously but please don’t reproduce to sell as part of a collage or anything similar. They are for your personal use only.

What a handsome couple!

Enjoy and have a giggle at the possible stories behind these photos!

Love and warm hugs to you all and thank you so much for your comments.

You know I appreciate them.

Something more …..

….. to play with! I was rummaging through some old papers, photos and postcards tonight and I came across this postcard written to my late Grandfather, Frans by his little sister Marie! It is dated November 1914 so that must have been during the First World War when he was stationed in Kimberley!

I think I am so lucky to have some remnants of the past! They are few and far between and I do treasure them.

This postcard made me giggle and think ‘so there were “naughty” postcards even then.’ LOL

On my Mom’s side I am of Dutch descent and on my Dad’s, I am a direct descendant of one of the many British families, the 1820 Settlers, who came to South Africa for a ‘new life’.

Please use these creatively for your own use.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great weekend and JUST ENJOY!

I know

….. I said no freebies etc, etc, etcetera. I was referring to digital. I don’t do digital ‘cause I’m a block-head and not a designer. I don’t know my left from my right, remember? Let alone, this layer and that layer!
I’m not a regular blogger and there have been so many encouraging comments from wonderful bloggers out there, I want to say thank you and give you a little something to play with. I think the vintage lovers may be able to do something with this photo. They are ancestors of mine but who, what, where, when or why, I do not have a clue AND I do believe that they would not mind at all at being ‘used’ artistically.
Have fun and please let me know should you use them.
Hugs
