On this day

Looking through my photographs recently I thought I’d do a look back over the years to this day 18 October.  I know for some years there weren’t any pictures so it will be a day either side, whatever there is. 

I store my photographs on Google photo which I love. I have thousands, there aren’t many days that go by when I don’t snap something. I never print any out which I guess is sad. What will become of them?  I do have our youngest daughter listed as an inactive account contact, but whether she would do anything with them I’ll never know. What do you do with photos?

During lockdown we went through all our physical photographs and culled them, keeping only those that were any good. I did in years gone by put photos in albums but that habit fell by the wayside. We have lots of old black and white photos given to us by Peter’s mum. We have no idea who most people are and she no longer wished to keep them. 

So here we go 18 October in no particular order

And finally today 2021 - a wet and miserable afternoon. We were out when it started to rain so my washing is still out.  I suppose I should go out and rescue it into the dryer

And because these are some of my favourite flowers, the smell takes me back to childhood. My mum always grew these a real sign that autumn is here.

Hope you enjoyed my little look back
