Those of us who had a mum we could be close to are very lucky! I had to laugh at the pantsuit incident - I never could see what was wrong with trousers on women. Have you noticed in Australia that most women wear trousers or shorts these days, here in the UK I'd say the minority are in skirts.

We dragged our stay out, lasting about 30 mins after she'd asked us to leave. The hotel was a rather snobbish, "ladies" hotel and they hadn't caught up with the times. Pantsuits were the latest big thing in fashion at that stage in the early 70s, and the hotel hadn't yet caught up. It was still sticking to Victorian rules of dress, I think! lol<br /><br />Thanks for coming by. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-4931164303410795882017-05-15T15:42:41.748-07:002017-05-15T15:42:41.748-07:00Hi Annie....I did on my Facebook page...I posted a...Hi Annie....I did on my Facebook page...I posted a photo of each of us at the age of 18.

I wrote in a previous post a year or so ago about the bastard of a step-father we had; one who tried to ruin our lives for a couple of years. And I describe him as such because he was a bastard of the first degree...my description is far too lenient, but I'll refrain from saying any more at this point in time.<br /><br />Mum had her fair share of admirers.<br /><br />Mum was only 54 years of age when she passed away.

I guess that in those far off days it was very difficult for a divorced young mother to make a new relationship with a fellow. Did your mum ever find someone else after your father went? Perhaps she decided to shelve such thoughts and instead devote herself to you and Graham. She must have been quite young when she passed away in 1974. It's good that she spent a big chunk of that year with you. A special time.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.com
