Un énorme bisou à mon amie Diana qui m'a terriblement manquée.
Oh this is so special and really made me smile.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your dad - what a gorgeous wee boy he was! I love photos from way back then - the sepia tones and the way they posed had something wonderful that today's digital photography for all its bells and whistles just can't compete with. A great illustration of photo too - am sure he'll be so delighted with it!
