Happy Birthday Mum

Today is my Mothers Birthday, not just a ordinary Birthday I reckon she has reached another milestone. She was born on 4th December 1917 (during the 1st World War), so today she is 90 years old so I reckon its worthy of a mention and a few photographs.

1. As a young child

2. Sat with a friend in deck chairs (why anyone sits in deck chairs on the street is beyond me).


3. Looking after some lovely young child (no prizes for guessing who) in the sea.

4. Yes the played Womens Football before the 2nd World War, apparently she played once for England representitive side against France. She is 2nd from left on the back row.

5. Yep thats my parents wedding photo, they don't make family shots like they used to, looks like something out of a Mafia film to me.

Celtic,
90 is a great achievement isn't it.

Airliebird,
Yes she still loves Football (the mighty whites of course". When she was in hospital a couple of years ago she made the nurses wheel her into the mens ward so she could watch a England Match.

Rach,
You gotta have some Yorkshire in ya.

Tex,
She really enjoyed her Birthday got a lot of visitors.

San,
Yes lovely son, lol.

Rebecca,
Apart from her legs been knackered and stuck in a wheelchair everything else is in good working order. Hell she still does the crosswords in the newspapers.

Ironside,
She was impressed she got a man calling her pretty.

Thanks everyone for your comments.
