My pride and joy - a Wolseley Hornet It had a 1000cc engine and was much zippier than the old 850 cc mini. I changed it for a Vauxhall 101 On holiday at Hayling Island off Portsmouth - pictured are Roy Cross, Angela Moore, Maureen Thompson (my wife) and Terry Thompson. Roy and Angela, (Maureen's brother sister) were adopted, hence the different surnames. This one is a classic. We used to visit Maureen's aunt Noel Thompson at Brunt Terrace in Trillick and she had her weekly visitor making her ceilidh, and they were discussing the quality of the spuds in the bag. I'll have to call her "Maggie" because I can't recollect her name. We were getting married and she heard about it and asked Noel to get something out of a catalogue to give to us for a present, and she fished out a couple of pound notes from her stockings - you can see them at the top of her leg. Me and Maureen, with my parents, Winifred and Isaac Me doing a bit of ironing, I was putting the prints into our wedding album, but I'm afraid that I haven't done much since. I got a friend to take the pictures and made sure he was well fed at the reception for payment. Pictured at my parent's house which also was in Cannon Hill. There's an old Ferranti valve radio in the background which has the broadcast stations names, which I kept. I haven't fired it up in years. That picture on the wall is one that I did at Art class in school, but I would admit that it wasn't all that good. Maureen with the children and my mother in the back garden |
