I loved seeing everyone's photos. Dee your cot cover was smashing.  Wish I knew how to post a picture. I have some old ones of aunts in their nurses uniforms.

Not difficult, Kesannah, it's just a matter of scanning the picture and saving to desktop, then adding it to the bottom of the message.
We've talked others through, I'm sure you'll be able to do it.

Just love the schoolroom picture Margrat. But weren't those desks uncomfortable. We didn't have stepped classrooms though. I always hated the way that the boys sitting behind would put their feet up on your clothes!  ....deeiluka

OK my first attempt to post so sorry if it goes horribly wrong.

My great Uncle George Hancock ( photo courtesy of Rolls Royce archives and just received today)  is the gentleman on the left with the ciggy. This was taken on their way to the Trieste Alpine Trials in 1913. The gentleman in the middle is Ernest Hurer( ?) who became chairman of Rolls Royce. The one on the right is a chap called Parsons I believe. (Unfortunately the writing on the back of the photo is not terribly clear).  George was apparently a driver/ tester for RR.

Thought I'd post the following photo of my parents from many years ago. Don't you just love the striped jackets. My very elderly mother still has my father's hanging in a cupboard - and my daughter says it is going to be hers one day! ......dee
