Thank you for telling me that my picture is of Dante, all these years I have never known and now will be able to address him by his official name rather than all the silly ones we have called him over the years! The link to my Pinterest board is http://pinterest.com/ohsovintage/fabulous-older-style/. Actually I wasn't far behind you as my son was born when I was 35. I always remember my mother saying to me 'It's one thing having a baby at 35 but quite another looking after a small child in your 40s'!!<br />Ruth xOhSoVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07130228440172446040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444887571509926414.post-23325161261692977342013-03-01T14:01:48.063-08:002013-03-01T14:01:48.063-08:00As ever, some wonderful photos, charming and rathe...As ever, some wonderful photos, charming and rather eccentric facts to digest and some glimpses of the England I am quite sad to have left behind.
