A few weeks ago I posted about a stamp that I just had to buy because it reminded me so much of my Great Aunt Gertie of whom I was very very fond. Well just recently I have been having a bit of a spring clean whilst number one daughter has been recuperating form an operation and I came across this photo of Auntie Gertie enjoying an ice-cream on Great Yarmouth sea front, probably in the 1950's, and I just had to share it with you. 
The photo is also of my Aunt and Grandad and Nanna, the chap in the darker suit is Uncle Percy, who was obviously on holiday as he was a Station master in Cornwall.
Apart from my aunt (in the middle) in her teens and Gertie in her 60's the rest would all only be in their middle/late 50's... didn't they look alot older in those days??
lol yes a very good likeness. What a nice stamp to have as well, to stir up those memories.
