Hi Everyone
I wonder if any of you kind restorers could have a go at this photo.
The outfit was a pale lavender [made by my mother] if you wish to colour it.
Also just a general tidy up of Little Miss Innocent too please.
Thank you
Wendy

I just have to butt in here and comment on your second photo Wendy ... you should be selling copies of that as a greeting card or a postcard.
The photo is amazing and you are SO cute! ;D

Possibly with the caption - " Honestly Mom, I haven't been anywhere near the choccy biscuits!"

Hi Everyone
Thank you for all your hard work. You never let me down and I'm so grateful.
Thank you too for all the kind comments.
Regards the angelic me aged about 4 years. Sixty years later I have changed a bit. Definitely not angelic, going grey, wrinkles and 3 grandchildren, and a great and happy [mostly] life to look back on.
Ruskie - I'd never have thought of that!!
My mother gave me the photos a couple of months ago & I have a couple more to put on but I'll leave it for a while and give other people a chance.
Regards Wendy

Do you remember having that photo taken Wendy? If so do you remember what you were thinking?
Probably no choccy biscuits in those days Tony. Am I right Wendy? ;D
Did your bows keep falling out? :)

You're right there Ruskie! I think I'm around the same age as Wendy and at that time there would still have been rationing after the war. I still remember my Gran asking for "a quarter of broken biscuits" at the shops!! They used to be in a big square tin in front of the counter and were cheaper than whole ones!

I do remember the photo as I felt like a fairy princess ::). I have very fine hair and the boys used to pull my pigtails. I never looked so angelic when I came home from school with my cardigan hanging off one shoulder and my bows just hanging on to the ends of my hair.
My mother despaired and always said [and still does when it's mentioned] 'I sent her to school looking nice, clean & tidy and look at the state of her!!' I have a photo of me taken in the afternoon at school.
There was rationing until 1953 so no sweets. I have made up for it since though.
Tony - I can remember those square metal tins with glass lids in Woolworths. They were stacked on their side on several wooden shelves up to about 5 feet high so you could see what was on offer.

I would hope so Wendy. You'd be some kind of freak of nature if you still looked like this after 60 years! ;D
I absolutely LOVE your hair and the bows. I thought they looked satiny as though they could slip out. I hope you show your children and grandchildren this photo so they can see how goregous you looked.

I am descended from Henry Handley, who was born about 1843 at Paddington/Marylebone U.K. He was a carpenter and his wife Elizabeth Nash was born at Haddenham in Buckinghamshire, England, in about 1844.
I would appreciate any information regarding the descendants or ancestors of this couple, who had at least 8 children.
