I wonder where she is now?
I recall well, this photo of her when I was a small boy. Funny how things stay in your mind. I guess it has to do with the fact that I spent quiet some time in hospital around this period, and with it this photograph and her face, although I never knew her. I think Dad was out photographing me in the hospital and on his way home took some shots of Brownlow Hill. I assume it was from around this area that she lived?
