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

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.

Yes Veronica,definitely channeling the Ingrid Bergman style ! X
I have a couple of hats very similar to that; one of them is an original one from the 1940s.
