Grandad, when he was a boy

I started with affinal kin in my original KindaSquare announcement and consanguineous on day one, so it has been rather lovely to see so many of you also sharing family portraits this month. There have been so many kind and beautiful faces, you’ve inspired me to share another relation, this time of Dad’s dad. Grandad was certainly kind, and I also remember he was very cheeky. He had a few things to say about this song!

By the way if you would like to see my header shot of Grandad with his parents and siblings click here. It is a lovely photograph of my consanguineal kin, and it would be shame to miss it if you didn’t come via the WP reader or my home page. I do like my theme but it can occasionally unkind to header photographs!

  7. Of course, I had to look up consanguinal, and now have a new word to add to my repertoire. Great photos of your grandfather and I, personally, think he can sing.

    1. It’s such a great word isn’t it. Ah wish Clive Dunn had been one of grandfathers, but he’s an actor turned singer just for this song

    1. They were expensive to have – we only have a few of my grandfather’s family. They must have come into some money to go to the photographer

      2. Do with seven sets of great grandparents, but the eighth is a mystery.

        Granddad was very special 😀 and by the looks of it so was his mum, my great grandmother
