Teddles again !
« on: Friday 12 October 12 08:23 BST (UK) »
Hi,

May I ask for some colour for this early photo of Teddles.   Here’s a thread from Oct 2010 which has brought much joy to various rellies.  http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,491471.0.html
This current photo was definitely taken at the same location, and is very definitely an earlier one of Teddles.    Teddles’ mother was wearing a suit in a very very pale green.  And yes, Teddles remembers being curtailed from “taking off” by a twisted cord held in both hands by various rellies.  I suspect there’s a cord being used in this photo too. 

There is absolutely NO urgency for my request, and I will definitely understand if I have asked once too often.

Many thanks,

Teddles.

Wow,

Firstly, I apologise for not knowing how to remove the image of the scanner lid.  I tried to do "crop" using PAINT but I could not find the tool.  I did find the Re-size" button though. 

And secondly, may I apologise for overlooking the info about Teddle's mother...  Black hair, and Olive complexion (Portugese heritage).  Teddles complexion is very fair, hair white.  At one stage Teddles was tested re Albino issues.     

You have both made absolutely fantastic work of a small photo and I am so in awe of the efforts.  I forgot to explain those details in my efforts to remember the dress colour.   I am very embarassed, especially as there's the shadow of Teddle's Gran on the verandah, always in her hat,  the front door ajar, and the door stopper (bootmaker's anvil (?) which you both have found, and the Lillies in bloom too.   :-[  :-[  :-[  :-[  :-[

Hiya Teddles, great that you have these lovely pics of you stepping out!  I'm unable to make out some of the detail you mention  :-\ though my thought is that the lillies, if you mean the plant on the side of the step, look like hydrangea leaves to me  :) mare
