2 Photos of moments in life

 Hi FAU Bloggers.

Today I'd like to talk about 2 photos. I guess the world was very different when I was younger. Not many people I knew had a camera. Photos were for special occasions. We'd have a school photo or photos when cousins came to stay or if we went on holiday. When I was a child, photographs were taken on reels of film that needed to be developed. It was usually a couple of weeks before you could see the photo, look after the event had happened. Nowadays, everything is instant:)

This photo must be from the 1960's. I guess I must be about 7 or 8 years old but I can't be 100% sure. It's taken outside the house I grew up in from the age of 6 years old in Abbot's Nook, Chester. If I remember rightly, we were just playing in the street outside my house. My eldest sister, Terri, is in the background on the right hand side. I'm not sure who the other person is. Possibly a cousin. I think my eyes look like "anime eyes", sort of dark and upside down half-moon shape:) I remember the jumper I was wearing it was very warm (pure wool). The collar is quite retro.You don't see jumpers with that kind of collar very often these days. 

This next photo is about 12 years later in 1980. It was taken in a photo booth in Leeds where I'd gone to a music festival called Futurama. I went with one of my school friends. It was a really good 2-day festival of punk, post-punk and new wave. I doubt you would know any of the bands but Siouxsie and the Banshees, Echo & the Bunnymen, Soft Cell and The Psychedelic Furs were maybe the most well known. My hair was red (I think the hair colour was called "Fire") and my outfit consisted of jeans, T-shirt, Leather Jacket and diamanté earrings:) I remember meeting a famous Radio DJ at the train Station. 

I think the thing the photos have in common is that they were both happy times in my life.
