My Imaginary Second Family (or Random Photos)

When you buy as much second-hand tat as I do, you tend to accumulate some interesting bits and bobs along the way.

I now have a pile of other people's family photos (in an envelope marked as such, to avoid confusion in case my descendants ever want to do some family history).

They make me feel kind of happy-sad - happy to have a glimpse into the past, but sad that they have strayed from their "proper" family.  Out of respect to the black and white and sepia strangers of my imaginary second family, I am unable to throw away these found photos.

I thought you might like to have a look at some of my favourites

"Too fast - Wanna get off" - thank goodness Alton Towers had yet to be invented

Remember the days before digital?  You could use a whole reel of film trying to get everyone smiling at once.
No such wasteage here!
I absolutely love the lines of that playground horse.  Wonder if it was made by "Wicksteed of Kettering"?

I am lusting after the curtains in this Skegness pub

I bet the kids were outside with a bottle of pop and a bag of crisps.  Still, at least the parents would have known where they were - unlike the Camerons.
