The 60's and 70's

I am steadily gathering a collection of photos of my parents from the 60's and 70's. I am hoarding their memories and trying to decipher the mystery of who these people were before we all came screaming into their lives and changed everything.  Photographs looked better in the 70's, this one was taken in London, it is the top of the Victoria Memorial outside Buckingham Palace.

The 1970's

My mother's necklace is an enamel butterfly, from Italy- most likely Florence, her brother gave it to her sometime in the late 70's, the precise details like many things lost to time. She gave it to me the summer her father was dying. It is the only piece of jewellery I have worn that men have stopped me in the street to compliment.
