A sunny afternoon

Taken way back in the 60s with my trusty Rolleiflex
camera. My son seen wandering off as was his wont.
This was taken in Kensington gardens,the round pond
just over the slope. As you can see not a high rise
building in sight,the park then was just like being in
the countryside.My friend walking towards was at
the time an aspiring fashion model but ended up
as so many, decorating an office in the BBC.

    Your son looks like he is trying to escape Dad's camera.

  3. Someone less looking like an antique dealer I have yet to see!
    My kids always would talked to everyone too, and I did the same to other kiddies. As you say, these days that's a very No No thing to do. Such a shame. I have leant down to talk to a child in a pushchair recently, only to have the mother snatch the pram out of reach. I thought better of talking to the mother and pointing out I was a Grandmother to 10 and there was surely no harm being done.... not worth the argument, methought.

    Hot day here in the S/E is it with you?
    Love Granny

    Far worse for blokes re children with some mothers (Sun readers?) but I find most mums quite OK when I take grandson to playground.
