Thanks for the welcome, Sula. I've been watching and reading for a while - and am now starting to have a go at posting.

My cot cover is certainly one of my treasures. And I really appreciate these days the thought and effort that went into it. I am so glad my mother kept it for me. ....deeiluka

Seeing those plus fours reminded me of this one. We used to go to these woods every spring, often in a family group. This is me with Mum and Dad and our dog in 1947. The dog lived to the age of 16.

Reminds me of many walks in the woods with my parents, rancegal, and what a dinky little dog, Was he only a puppy there or did he stay that size.

[rancegal]

Our dear little dog was only a puppy then, Paula, I think we must have only just got her. Here she is again at the age of about 10. She was the sort of dog you only get once in a lifetime. I used to dress her in doll's bonnets and wheel her about in my doll's pram.

[PaulaToo]

Oh memories, memories, rancegal.
I had a doll with a red velvet cape and hood.
I used to put it on our old Manx cat and wheel him up and down the street in the dolls pram. He was a one off, too.

Oy! Who did that to me? I was just answering this post and my answer came out half way back to.....scrubbed it, and if no one moves the thread again, I'll have another go

Smashing picture, wrjones.
Your Mum looks so shyly excited and your Dad, well, he's the cat that got the cream. They must have been very happy.
