Carole Mackie Rickard Pamela McKeown no my mums hair was red, though my aunt Margaret wore glasses like that x

Valerie Laird Hi Carole Yes I definitely think it’s your mum with the shopping basket next to her legs. The first time I ever saw her was at the end of 1967 and her hair style was a little different then but I’m sure it’s her. Xxx
Carole Mackie Rickard I’ve just called my Aunt Margaret and it’s definitely them. The lady who submitted the photo is a relative of hers 😀 xx
