Wow! Look at that hat, so stylish ....and the best Sunday suit. Pity women of today are never so well dressed. Lovely photo Brian.

Yes a lovely photo,I can remember a photo of my Mum wearing a similar suit in the 1940's.

They were very popular those hats Elizabeth. Ingrid Bergman wore one like that in Casablanca'

Beautiful photo Brian, of you and your mum. You look very shy, lovely to look back on. I remember my mum with a hat on like that.

I have a couple of hats very similar to that; one of them is an original one from the 1940s.
