Autograph Album part two

Here are some more pages from my Mother's Album with two more to come. (I do wish that I could get Blogger to lay these pages out as I type and format them!)


This is the second drawing by the unknown signatory - Babs

True Action is the doing of duty, come of it heartache, defeat, or success.

I wonder if this is my Uncle Charlie, Mam's middle brother who would've been in the Royal Navy at this time.

These two drawings are signed ME - possibly Auntie May England  

Blackboard reads:
Feet to run with - Nose to smell with - Eyes to see with.
Little boy's saying:
Please Miss I'm  made wrong.  It's me nose that runs and me feet that smell. 



These two pages are written by my sister when I was only four months old and PJ wasn't even born - amazing!  She has drawn some pictures and then wrote a poem, on 18th April 1946 - our father's birthday!   He was still a serving soldier so was not at home.  

The poem reads:

Loveliest of Trees the Cherry now

Is hung with blossoms along the bough

And stands about the woodland ride

Wearing white for Eastertide.

Now of my Three score years and Ten

Twenty will not come again

And take from seventy Springs a score
It only leaves me fifty more

And since to look at things in bloom

About the woodland I will go

To see the Cherry hung with snow

Nice and cheerful for an eleven year old!!!

Three Lancashire Rules
Hear all and say now't,
Drink all and pay now't and
If thou does ow't for now't
Do it for thee sen.

Roses Red, Violets blue

Sugar sweet & so are you

& so are they that send you this

When we meet we'll have a kiss 

Maybe not Cousin Maud!!

We cannot change yesterday that is quite clear.

Or begin on tomorrow, before it is here.

So all that remains both for you and for me,

Is to make each day just as sweet as can be

Be good sweet maid
& let who will be clever

Here is a little flower

Which grows in yonder spot

That whispers all I have to say

Which is:- Forget - me - not.
