We coloured mum's face in!
« on: Friday 19 September 08 15:34 BST (UK) »
Here is a photo of my mum, taken when she was about eleven, in 1936. At some stage someone, most likely my sisters or I, tried to give her some colour in her cheeks. Please could somebody take it away? She is just like her dad, whom some of you have been cleaning recently.

Thanks,
Jen

Hi Jen
Shame to discard the hard work that you or your sisters put in on the photo, so before turning it B/W here's a spruce up of your original colouring
Hope you approve / like

Lovely, thanks all who have cleaned her. She looks quite presentable now, ready for school, I think.

Don't know what mum's was but Cleveland Grammar School for "gels" had navy blue. How I hated it. ;D
