That's a really good clear photo Claire, how nice to see such a lovely family group.

Hope you find out who's who, it's frustrating sometimes when you find these old ones, not to know who they are.  I have lots of my grandma's old photos and she always wrote names and dates on the back, something I forget to do, but I have old photos of others who could be anyone, I'll probably never know!

Ecneps congrats on 7000+

I too have lots of photos with names but just as many without and it is sad to have faces but no names

Re: Clogs

Many, many years ago when I first went to Holland – and I mentioned “clogs” – no-one knew what I was talking about!  Their word for the wooden shoe is “klompen” – whether there’s any connection with “clomping about” I wouldn’t know. 

Can’t help wondering if “clogs” is an English term – as the song goes: “Though she dresses in clogs and shawl” (“She’s a lassie from Lancashire”).  Apparently, I had a pair of clogs (with dark green, leather uppers) when I was aged 3 – 4, but then I am a Lancashire Lad!  Smiley

Clogs are still being made in the Uk today by a firm called Walkley in West Yorkshire!
