ReplyDeleteVery nice tribute to your mother.
ReplyDeleteMy mother was born in 1918 and died in 1994 of cancer. She always had been more a wife to my father than a mother to me. Fortunately I had my grandma.
ReplyDeleteThe war ... and then a new lif in a strange land. In spite of all those changes in your mom's life she looks peaceful and happy in your photos. Cherish your memories on this Mother's Day, Diane.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tribute to your mom, Diane. I always enjoy seeing photos of her on your blog.
ReplyDeleteYour Mother was beautiful! Lovely tribute.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty woman, hard for many of us to know how hard they had it during the war, how strong they had to be as often their husband was off fighting the war so they had to do so much on their own.
ReplyDeleteWomen in those days had a special kind of fresh beauty. Your mother looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely old photos! I enjoyed seeing them:)
ReplyDeleteLovely photos of your Mother Diane. True treasures these old photos.
ReplyDeleteIncredible photos Diane, your mum was gorgeous. I love that period, apart from the war of course. Women always looked so stylish and feminine!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lady, wonderful memories!!
ReplyDeleteI remember her dancing in the lounge room at Christmas one year. And listening to her tell me about living in London during that time. Happy Grand-mother's day X
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed hearing about your pretty mom's life. What a brave family to leave London for Australia in those years. So far from family and all they knew.
