EVEN STEVENS ..........

Having done a few posts about my Dad, I thought I should even the score with one about my Mum.      

Here she is in her ATS uniform. She learnt to drive in the ATS and drove before my Dad did and she knew much about the maintenance of a car too. 

During the war, my Mum and Dad wrote to each other everyday, sometimes twice. We have all the letters. The above photograph shows only about a months worth !!!! I have read some but it feels like a bit of an intrusion so I don't like to read them really although, there is a lot of social history amongst them which is interesting.

A photograph of my Dad in one of the bands he was in ! 

This is as much a test of using the new Blogger rather than a history of my Mum. I  found out today when doing a new post that I am now 

forced to use it !!! So far, I am working it out, apart from aligning the script !!! Any help with that will be gratefully received ! Haven't worked out how to preview either ..... when I click on Preview, it just goes to a picture of my header and nothing moves ..... I guess it will all become clear in time ! { can't seem to add labels either ! }

I also seem to have lost my JACKIE at the bottom of the page !  

In the meantime, until I find it again, please accept my trademark four kisses.
