1971

At the end of last week I celebrated my birthday. As you can tell by the date in the title of this post, it was a significant one. I had a superb day.
To mark the occasion, I thought I'd share a photo that has only recently surfaced. It's my Mum, taken in September 1971 and heavily pregnant with me. Before I became a mum I would have just said 'oh how sweet', but looking at it now, having carried my own daughter in my belly, it touched me more than I can say.

So I love this photo. 'My' first ever photo! And by the look on her face, I suspect my mum is telling whoever it is shoving a camera in her direction to bog off and leave her alone. Love that.
