This is my Dad (the tyke on the bottom right) at the beach with his family. Probably Redcar, which was the closest to where they live and very popular at the time. Now a scene of urban degradation, sadly.
His Mum is sitting behind him. She died a few years after this was taken. I am not sure who the older boy standing behind it, but I love that he is wearing a tie and woollen sweater vest to the beach. And my Grandad is in a suit, less the jacket and with the trousers rolled up.

Updated: my designs are now at The Lilypad
