On this day in 1960 a rebel was born, and everyone knew it straight away, although I hid the fact so sweetly in lots of these photos. 😁
For your amusement, on my birthday here is a trip down memory lane.
A proper little madam on a family holiday.
Junior school photo ... I hated combing my hair then and my Mum was horrified when she got the photos. 😂
I scrubbed up well for Whit Week every year though.
The Girl Guide with the longest legs. 😄
On holiday with the family.
A day out, Dad loved the roses and asked me to stand next to them.
My fifteenth birthday.
Then we'll skip forward a few years to save your time and your sanity ... past a wedding at 18, children in my 20s, first grandchild in my 30s, a divorce, two years of freedom, another wedding at 47, more grandchildren and a complete change of lifestyle for the second time in my life.
A smallholders day out at River Cottage. Yep, I'd been 'Tangoed'. 😀
Celebrating something .... or perhaps it was just a wine day. 😄
Organising my Lovely Hubby ... he takes a lot of organising!!
Then it was another grandchild and the start of the great grandchildren. Fast forward to today ...
And to scare you all off, me now 64 today. Bloody hell how did that happen?
Just me, you can take me or leave me ... but I'm the only one I've got, so you're pretty much stuck with me if you want to read my wild and wacky ramblings. 💖
Thank you for always being here.
Sue xx
Happy Birthday Sue, you're wearing well! Hope there's some good dark chocolate in your day. 😋
ReplyDeleteAt least your dad asked you to be next to the roses, mine would have got us out of the way. Sadly, I have very few family photos as my dad always wanted pictures of scenery.
Thank you, some dark and some Blonde Aldi chocolate will be good. Maybe I was just there for the perspective, they were tall roses!! ;-)
DeleteHappy Birthday - you are still a youngster!
ReplyDeleteOld photos are always fun to look at.
Thanks, you fall down a rabbit hole going through old photos don't you. 😀
DeleteHappy Birthday to you Sue, have a lovely day and just keep on being you🌞💐🥂. Jan in Castle Gresley xx
ReplyDeleteThank you. Don't worry, I will 😄
DeleteHappy Birthday and I love the photos you shared. Catriona
ReplyDeleteThanks Catriona. ❤️
DeleteHappy Birthday, Sue! I loved your photos, what a pretty girl you were (and still are!) May your day be filled with joy and loads of pressies! xxx
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you. It really was a good day. ❤️
DeleteHappy birthday Sue. It's my birthday today too and I'm a Sue as well! I love being born in April the changeable weather but like me and being an Aries, a bit feisty. Hope you have a lovely day. Regards Sue H
ReplyDeleteThank you. Gosh there are so many Sue's, and especially April Sue's. And like you I'm a Sue H. 😀
DeleteHappy birthday Sue - we must all be around the same age, there are a lot of Sues around! Lovely photos - we've not got many early photos, I don't think Mum and Dad really went in for photography much. I love that Brooke Hampton 'Girls are' quote, it certainly applies to me too! Have a lovely day xx
ReplyDeleteThank you. ❤️ There are a LOT of us Sue's for sure. Dad was into slide photography in a big way, my brother had them digitalised so we couldn't have them all on our computers.
DeleteBrooke says it as it is doesn't she. 😀
Happy Birthday Sue. You do not look old enough to be a a Great Grandmother. I became a Nan at 39, no greats yet though. Hope you have a lovely day with wine and chocolate.
ReplyDeleteThank you. ❤️ I feel old enough either. 😄 I was a Nana at 39 and a Great Nana for the first time at 58. I think they are out to make me feel old.😳
DeleteHappy birthday Sue!
ReplyDeleteThank you Bridget. ❤️
DeleteMany Happy Returns - I hope it is a great birthday weekend. 🍾 💐 🧁
ReplyDeleteNot long now and I will have caught up with you. xx
Thank you. ❤️ Nah ... you'll never catch up. 😂
DeleteHappy, happy Birthday Sue. You are just a year and a bit ahead of me and seeing your photos reminds me so much of ' milestones ' along my way, although I wish I had those long legs - mine are short and fat!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your blogs........it's always a pleasure reading and joining in on them x
Alison in Wales x
Thank you so much. ❤️ Life is a series of milestones isn't it, and you don't realise how many you've passed already until you sit and do something like this.
DeleteI'm sure my legs have shortened now. 😂🤣
Happy Birthday Sue. Hope you have a great day. I always remember that we are the same age as I am 64 in May. Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you. ❤️ It would that there are lots of us of a similar age here, it's a good club to be in. 😀
DeleteHappy birthday Sue!! Hope you're having a wonderful day. Loved seeing all the photos, especially as I have some similar 70s style ones!! :-) xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you. ❤️ The seventies were brilliant years, well maybe some of the fashion was a bit debatable. 🤔
DeleteHappy birthday Sue, I'm 5 years ahead of you. Great photos. Loved the 70s fashions . And so many wonderful blogging Sues have birthdays in April.
ReplyDeleteThanks Angela. ❤️ There are a lot of us Sue's for sure. 😂
DeleteA very happy Birth Day! Thank you for sharing your photos.

DeleteOh Sue I'm so sorry that I'm late with my birthday wishes for you:( I loved seeing all the photos throughout the years and it sounds like you had a great birthday:) I can't believe you are a great grandmother either, you haven't changed over the years and look lovely♥
ReplyDeleteAww, that's nice of you. Thank you. ❤️ xx
