What an unusual number of early family photos. It is very touching to see them
Thanks Janet. I am rather amazed myself at just how much family stuff there is. Some of the photos are very small but photoshop brings them alive! Creating a website like this is one way of preserving it all. As Muriel used to say ‘you must decide where everything is to go – eventually!’
Hello Elizabeth, I am Sue Ault’s (Hibbett) daughter, Kate and
Basil’s granddaughter. What a wonderful job you have done in assembling all of this. It is beautifully done and very moving too. I shall really look forward to all the future posts.
So very sorry to hear of the death of your husband,
+May he rest in peace and rise in glory Amen.
Thoughts & prayers,
Delphine (Luton)
