Title: Mum and her Nan
Post by: Peppie on Thursday 19 October 06 21:28 BST (UK)
I wondered if you kind people may like to play around a bit with this picture of my mum and her nan, a bit of a tidy up and I'd love to see a bit of colour if you had the time.

Great Nana  had a bit of a reputation, She was Irish, hated Royalty and loved Hitler.......  unlike mum who used to hide photos of the Queena nd P. Margaret under her bed! ( mum grew up with her until she died as she like to take over things). She was also known for hanging my uncles by their braces on the coat hooks!  ;D little legs dangling!

In those big pockets of hers on her apron...... she filled with stones to pelt her son for giving mum marg instead of butter LOL

Just realised that your photo is called "Mum" and her nan...so I've changed her top colour to make it girlie  :-[ :-[ :-[

PS  It's better to scan photos as "colour" even though they are black and white...you get better resolution and consequently, a better restore.

Cheers

And for the tip too cazza, I didn't realise about the B/W colour thingy with scanning.
