A Day Out

A Day Out

1950s to 1960s

This is a photo of my grandmother's friend, Rene Daly. Rene always went to the races, so I presume this is where they are heading, or at! The other woman is Rene's nieece who used to accompany her. Rene is on the left. I remember her as a forceful woman, for those times and a match for my grandmother! The niece I remember as being quite shy. Rene was always beautifully dressed as you can see, and loved a gamble!!
