Sorry I was absent last week but we had family staying which kept me rather busy!! I will try to catch up with my travel tag soon. Loved all your tags though - I made time to peek!
This week my tag is a photo of my grandparents on their wedding day in 1914. The first time my Granny saw my Grandpa was on a holiday in Scotland when she took a day trip on a steamer on the loch. She and her best friend, then aged 14, swooned over a good looking young man wearing a pair of rather dashing two tone brogues. I can just imagine them giggling! Four years later my Granny spotted the same shoes on the same young man aboard a tram in Blackpool where she lived. They got off at the same stop and he admired her dog (a Chow Chow). He had moved to Blackpool after qualifying as a doctor at Glasgow University to take up a post as a junior doctor at Blackpool's Victoria hospital. This romance was obviously meant to be and they were happily married until Grandpa died in 1966. Granny died in 1994, aged 100! I loved them both so much.
A bientot!
