Ethel ...

This is Ethel. A picture postcard taken at Christmas 1945 at a photographic studio Mindel & Faraday, Oxford Street, London W1.

Ethel is not a relative. Ethel is a lady I have come to know by chance.

We have come to own some of Ethels belongings from a local auction house. You never know what is going to turn up and I love old black and white photos such as this.

Ethel has a quiet charm about her and I love this simple pose. Its a lovely momento of a bygone age.
