Babysat

My wife used to babysit in her youth. One of the families she knew very well; and even went on a holiday with them.

Over the years she lost touch as the parents had moved and it was only recently, following the death announcement in the Scotsman of the mother, did she manage to re-establish contact. Through the funeral directors.

The father, in his mid-eighties, now lives in England but was visiting one of the daughters who lives in East Lothian. They came round this afternoon and many memories were rekindled. The babysitting took place around 45 years ago and the daughter visiting and my wife had not seen each other since 1990. But they picked up as if it was yesterday.

This is one of my few (adult) people photos: which I post with their permission.
