I thought I would share this old photo of my Mum & Dad, on the top left is my Brother.
And on the right is my sister. This Photo was taken about 78 years ago. and we were Hop-picking. I`m at the top right. I love this photo because there is only my sister and I left.

  1. Good morning Vic... Thanks for sharing this moving moment in your life. Just shows we travel in parallel journeys... and Time plays its nasty tricks on us all.

    Just another great reason to get "hoppin'"... and paint our hearts out! HA HA!... Couldn't resist the pun!

    Good Painting!
    Warmest regards,
    Bruce

  2. Hi Bruce.
    Thank you for your comment. I had to post this lovely photo that i love. I remember it well still. My Dad pulled the Bines i think they call them. and we picked them. he would only pick them for about an hour. and then off he would go to pull the bines for somebody else. All the best Bruce.

  3. I can remember those hop pickers coming down in their lorry loads, the summers felt hotter, and the beer wonderful.

    All the best, mate!

  8. Hi my friend.
    Yes it is a good photograph Hilda. I don`t know who took it but it is a good one isn`t it. Perhaps one of the bine pullers took it. Many years ago Hilda. All the best to you Hilda.
