It was my mother in law's birthday last Friday. She reached 91 years old. On Saturday, we took over a nice meal and spent the afternoon with her and her son. Of course, I took a few pictures to remember the occasion.
She has only had sight in one eye from birth and in recent years has needed ongoing treatment for macular degeneration and a cataract operation. All somewhat concerning in her situation.
In the evening she opened up a box of her pictures. Here she is with a picture of herself as a young girl. She also has some pictures from her time in New Zealand, having bought a £10 ticket in the 50s, and of her wedding. She worked as a radiographer in New Zealand and used to develop and print her own black and white photos in the hospital lab.
