𐌏𐌈 reel to reel

for a little while I have had this box:

it's part of a collection that belonged 

to my Grandad:

cines and slides from days past:

blues being the colour of things cinematic:

priced £3.65: 

probably expensive those days:

luckily my Grandad was very organised:

each reel hand labelled:

last Sunday, Ken & Angie came to my house:

with their film projector:

after much tinkering, tea & cake

we managed to set it up and watch a reel:

it was strange and exciting seeing myself

as a little girl with my family:

seeing who was who:

with Libbie too, marvelling and laughing

at the fashions and decor:

the changing face of family life:

{notice an early liking for a choccie biccie: some things don't change}
