beautiful photographs



At my parents this weekend we were looking at some of the wonderful photos that she has of when she was living in Tangiers in the 40s and 50s. The photo on the beach is of (clockwise from bottom left) Tio Manolo, Tia Maria, my mum, my uncle Pepin, my grandmother and my beautiful aunty Fita who sadly died earlier this year, the little boy that she is holding onto very tightly is a little street urchin they adopted. The other photo is of my mum and my auntie Fita with a friend.
