This week’s Sepia Saturday blog post prompt is of an image of swings.
I remembered the swing in my grandfather’s back garden and many happy hours spent there.
The second picture is of my mother pushing my aunt on the swing perhaps 10 or 12 years earlier. The fruit trees have grown very quickly.
I first wrote about my grandfather’s back garden in response to a Sepia Saturday prompt in 2014 : Sepia Saturday: My grandfather’s back garden

We had a swing in my grandfather’s backyard too. And it was under an apple tree.

I like the second picture of your mother pushing your aunt (your mother’s younger sister I presume?) on the swing. Funny, that picture made me think and I realized our home where I grew up was the only place that had a swing. No grandparents or aunts & uncles had swings in their yards yet they all (aunts & uncles) had kids. How odd, now that I think about it.

Yes, my mother’s younger sister 🙂
We had a swing set at our house but it wasn’t as good as the swing at my grandparents.

Great swing…looks like a enterprising carpenter made that one!

My grandfather was not a carpenter and nor were any of his family. However when they came to Australia they didn’t have much money and when they finally got somewhere to live he made a lot of the furniture.
