I really like your old photos Chris. They always make me wonder what the people in them are doing now. I don't know why because I don't know them! This one actually doesn't look dated to me. It could have been taken last week.

Great feelings from this photo.
I like very much your old photos too.
As Marvin said, if you haven't mentioned that is an old photo,
i would thought that is a new capture :)

Lovely shot Chris.
Was she gardening?

Her name is Maureen and she was a real hoot!! Back in the 60’s I was invited to afternoon tea with her parents and boyfriend. As was the custom I took along a gift, in this case brie cheese. No one had ever tasted this type of cheese and Maureen’s first instinct was to smell it - she then uttered the classic line - ”this smells just like sperm” - everyone except Maureen blushed a very bright red :)

The lady is about to turn 60s, so looking at the picture she looks like in her 20s, so maybe somewhere around 30-40 years old?

The photo was taken circa 1966

Something in this photo keeps drawing me back to it. I cannot place my finger on it though.

Great work Chris (admittedly quite a few years later than the photo was actually taken, but better late than never :D )
