more tricycles ...

A photo of my Dad on his tricycle back in the early forties! It looks like he still has his school uniform on, he looks very smart I must say.

Isn't it wonderful to have these old family photos?

I don't have any, but I intend to try to track some down, especially now, when I have been contacted by someone through ancestry.com who thinks that there may be a link between us, which she is busy researching.
