A few more treasures from the past.

.

Here’s the last batch of old family photos I’ll share.

.

From right to left – my uncle, my aunt and presumably my father… theintrepid butterfly hunter.

My great aunt and an unidentified child, perhaps my aunt. From the look of their clothes, I’m guessing they were not ardent PETA supporters.

These next few shots are of the Henley Regatta.

.

Part of the English social season, the annual rowing competition originated in 1839 and takes place on the River Thames.

It also looks like a good excuse to buy a new hat.

My uncle and aunt. Because no well dressed toddler should be without a parasol.

.

.

My grandmother, still not smiling… with my aunt and uncle in their garden. Sadly, my uncle was another relative I never met. He was killed in a car accident on Christmas Day at the age of 30.

My grandfather in the garden.

And finally, another garden party shot of Wednesday Addams with my father and uncle.
