I've Been Looking Round The Town For Somebody Just Like Me

I adore this photo of my Great Granny, Nana, and two of her sisters. It was probably taken in the late 1910s or early 20s. Nana was a wonderful lady, and although she died when I was only 5ish I have some great memories of her. She was very creative and used to sew me lots of lovely toys, my favourite being a little scotty dog named "Scotty" that is still cherished to this day. She also had an amazing collection of tea towels which my parents now have in their house. She used to buy a tea towel in every place she visited and it's nice when I'm at my parents' and only need to open the kitchen drawer to be reminded of her. Her youngest sister, Bessie, is still alive and soon to turn 100!

I like to think I this is where I get my sense of style!
