Family Christmases
Created by Jill 14 years agoPhotos of family gatherings at Christmas time always bring back happy memories, especially those when Paul's granny and grandad were still with us. Paul's Auntie Pat never goes anywhere without her camera, from a Kodak Instamatic in the 1970/1980's to a "secondhand" Kodak manual wind-on 35mm costing £5, which lasted almost another twenty years, until the sellotape holding it together was unable to keep it working any longer during a touring holiday of Eastern Europe in 2008. Then followed a succession of cheap, disposable cameras until Pat finally bought her first digital camera in 2009!!! All the photos shown here are courtesy of Pat and are of course pre-digital.
