This is a composite picture combining a picture of myself with one from my family archive. For me it represents family tradition and the passing down of knowledge through family.
I stand on the left with my two granddaughters. On the right is my Dad with my eldest daughter, the girls' Mum. The girls look on as their Mum collects potatoes with her Grandad, the same activity they are doing with me.

Dad, born Ladywood 1936, joined the REME regiment 7th December 1954. This is Dad showing one of the many activities (football, boxing, cricket, lifeguard) he participated in during his time in the army. He was very proud of his Birmingham roots. The second photo is on his wedding day to my Mom, Brenda Doris Greaves on 22nd December 1962, with my two Nans and Grandad, William & Annie Hawkins & Nora Greaves. They all lived in Ladywood.
