If I had been more confident I would have entitled this 'A flock of Wildgooses' instead of 'Dad, Grandad and Granny ...' !<br /><br />I rather assume Dad was posing for this photo and that's why he got dressed up. When he was farming he either wore a battered beret ['berry' we called it] or a battered flat cap ~ both of which had become moulded to the shape of his head. If he was going out then he would always look very smart ... rather like in this photo.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03548969874395633339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4317458159222048512.post-58229616462307347882013-07-31T22:27:26.710+01:002013-07-31T22:27:26.710+01:00You are so clever to figure out how to do this.

But they probably smell better, with showers and shampoos etc. My father-in-law thought you would get sick if you had more than one bath a season. You took off your longjohns for washing when you heard the crows come back from migrating south, or the ducks/geese.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14684720888428863058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4317458159222048512.post-2964187867006324812013-07-31T18:16:16.122+01:002013-07-31T18:16:16.122+01:00I'm glad you like it Pet.
