Family ....
It’s my Dad’s 90th Birthday today.
I guess this would be 1966 or 1967. My Mum took the picture on my Kodak Brownie Vecta camera.
It was my brother’s birthday and we went to Whipsnade Zoo as a treat. I was in a horrible mood (probably because of the injustice of having to wear school uniform at the weekend). I was desperately trying not to smile for the camera - hence the hand over my face.
The highlight of the visit was being harassed by a wasp at the picnic area. My Dad somehow enticed it onto the floor, dropped a paper cup over it then stamped on it till the cup was like a pancake. Family friend Margaret immediately burst into uncontrollable laughter. She really was crying and it was so infectious everyone was laughing without knowing why. She literally couldn’t speak for about 5 minutes. It turned out she’d seen the wasp fly off a split second before he dropped the cup and started stamping.
Keep on stamping Dad....
