GRANDAD'S SLIDES (PART 99) - LITTLE WHITE BOX 01

SLIDES 0633-0638

"Christmas 1974, etc."

I guess that these must be the "etc" part of that particular slide box...

It's a strange collection of pictures of peculiar ornaments - including a couple of those bloody scary-looking dolls in National Dress that we saw being purchased during one of those cruises a few weeks ago - garden flowers in bloom, and a sometimes over-exposed budgie that I don't recollect being around in 1974/5 at all.

But there it is...!

At least, I suppose, this set does at least finally help us to catch up chronologically with that photograph of Harold, his stuffed crocodile, the glass duck ashtray, and his Hammond Organ, that formed the basis of that "Harold's Way" faux album cover a few weeks ago, and which I will make no apologies about adding again.

After all, now that we're all getting to know the old rogue, perhaps that veneer of jollity and whimsy is slowly getting stripped away...?
