This picture if of my Dearest Mum and Dad celebrating a very special wedding anniversary ~ their Diamond Wedding ~ they were so devoted to each other ~ they met while Mum was a Land Girl ~ and Dad was in the Army ~
My Dad and Dick got on very well together they both loved to go fishing ~ and as we had a boat Dad enjoyed it all the more ~ Every weekend they would load the car with their fishing gear and off they would go ~ I tagged along sometimes as I really enjoyed fishing ~ I didn't like putting those maggots on the hook though
:o( ~ but I had to if I wanted to join in ~
When we were Children Dad would take my younger brother Ivor and my Sister Joy and me fishing with him so we learnt at an early age that we had to sit still and not make a lot of noise ~ I think Mum made him take us so she could have some time to herself ~ but when we arrived home which as late in the day she would have a lovely Sunday Roast on the table waiting for us ~
I love to look back on those happy days and the fun we had ~ coming from a very large family we didn't miss out on anything there was enough love to go round ~ we were never short of anything ~ maybe we didn't have as many toys as others ~ but Love made up for that ~

Beautiful memories. I don't know what a land girl is, should I?
Wonderful memories....my parents just celebrated their 50th....they had their picture taken in Wild West Costumes complete with fringed coats and long barrel guns....what a hoot!!! Could this be why i need therapy!!??
This is a very sweet entry, Ally. I can tell there is much love in your family!
Hugs, Beth
Yes a sweet entry indeed. Sadly my mom passed away on the day of her & my dad's 48th wedding anniversary. They were so in love...my poor dad was never the same and he followed 3 years later. I was always glad that we'd had a big get together for their 40th anniversary. Thanks so much for sharing these precious memories. Linda in Washington
Your parents look so happy together. Large families do have a good time. I know from mine that they always had a pal to do something with and didn't have to go looking for someone to play with. They all fish too. Memories like the ones you have are a blessing. 'On Ya'-ma

I remember sunday roasts so well funny but no one could cook them like "our Moms" Sundays were always so special then,you could feelit when you woke sunday morning,whether you went to church or not sunday was such a special day,now so often to many its just another day.
how wonderful
as always thank you for a lovely post

These are such wonderful memories. In my family it was my Grandmother that loved fishing and taught all the kids how to do it. I'll never forget those early expeditions with her. Thanks for sharing with us.
