Boxing Day 1964

A little late but still topical, I hope. Always had a family get together at my grandparents', Gospel Lane, the day after Christmas. Being an only child it was a chance to meet up with my cousins - they lived quite a way away so I only used to see them at Easter, on summer holidays and Xmas.

The Sound track is from a different era but still evokes memories of earlier years. Included a clip of my eldest cousin playing guitar from a recent whatsapp video - he's now 71 and I'm still trying to catch him up:D

In the V neck jumper is my eldest cousin, the one in the Whatsapp clip. I'm in the red jumper, now 3 years older than my grandad was when the film was taken - he was bn 31st Dec 1898. The baby is my youngest cousin, now 58o_O
