My Nanny and I

My Nanny and I

1949

My paternal grandmother was known as "Nanny' to me and took me to many places. We are seen here at New Brighton Beach in 1949 with my pink woollen bathing suit I well remember. It was so comfortable. The tin bucket and spade I received every Xmas from Father Christmas. Nanny ( Mrs Ethel Leader nee Findlater) is "dressed for a day at the beach!' with dress and suit coat complete with feathered hat! I was Christened Margaret May Leader.
