Back to Black and white

I’m a little worried about Kelly’s seeming ignorance of my recent email warnings so I’ve decided to take it to the public forum of the blog in the hope that collectively we can protect her. I warned her about rising water levels and accommodations on Thames beachfront but I’m not sure that she even heard me, now with this outbreak of foot n’ mouth disease I’m terrified for her. Kell I can’t emphasize enough what the dire consequences of foot n’ mouth could be to a National Internal Communications Executive Ernst & Young LLP. Believe me I suffered from this affliction as a young man, or boy really, and have suffered many relapses. By the way what does LLP stand for at the end of your title? Is it some sort of provisional law degree?

Now as requested by one of our readers here are some good old black and whites. Please bear with me if this seems a little strange as it is very strange to write and publish in reverse without seeing what your producing until it’s published

Sometimes when it rained we had waterfront on our farm. In fact we had water back and sides as well. During this flood we saw many strange things out for a swim not the least of them being the piano from the Coffee Camp school. When the water subsided it left this piano in the top of a tree. It left livestock, no make that deadstock, pigs mostly, in power lines and left our farm littered with marrows and film canisters as I recall.

Due east and there'll be no lawnmowing today. Check the well watered roses.
North East towards Dickies, the crossing, not. Many strange things floated past here
Due North, The caption reads "from the roof of the bails towards Santo's" directly into the oncoming stream
Nor-Nor-West just west of the of the oncoming stream.
West,back water; calm but very deep.
South: You could walk out, or in as some did, this way. Note the tops of fence posts still visible
Now this is the type of waterfront you wouldn't mind. Imagine what it looks like now wherever it is
These two tiny snaps that must almost pre date me judging by a Nanette child I don’t remember are fascinating don’t you think? It must be Hugh but I can’t recognize him. Am I right?

Nona and Nanette but who’s the oh so louche guy with the pose so ahead of his time?
Absolutely Nanette, certainly Grandfather but who are these others? OK could be me who can tell with babies but is this Hugh? I’ve a good mind to take it to police forensic to get that fingerprint on Nanette identified.
Chris, if you and Sue stumble onto this place, ask them how much.

John identified Aunty Addie from a previously published photo that I call the jolly folk. I have fond recollections of a holiday at her place in Brisbane at a place called Seven Ways, you get the picture. In case that wasn’t exciting enough for a country boy there was a railway level crossing and a Gogomobile dealership. No need to go out at night, just close my eyes and listen to it all come in. I have no idea how or if Addie is my auntie but I loved her then and these photos only re-enforce that love

Bob Albury junior, wife and baby and my self writes Addie here.
Eileen Margaret and I at Margarets graduation in 1962 writes Addie
"This is mum when we lived at Greenslopes" writes Addie on the back of this on the ninth of November nineteen fourty six (XXX)
Yes that's a lot of bull

These formal folk are a mystery to me so I would welcome any input as to their identities. Guesses will be fine and failing all else I’m thinking of a prise for the best made up story.

This very smooth dude was photographed by W.J. Hannah of Murwillumbah.
I hope it was air conditioned in this photo studio.
He's in the military though this is all that is obvious, going, coming who knows.
He's an officer and a seaman and he explains in pen that this isw the only photo he has at present taken on board the S.S. Aroona
Thats all for now,there's no more soothing way to end than with a shot of a beautiful girl dont you think. Just look at that udder, MMmmmuuUH
