Right to left Margaret, Sheila, Barbara and Liz Fry - hope I don't get beaten up when I next see everyone for this ---
and for those that wondered where aunty Flora was her she is with my son Finbar
I can still recognise all the Fry girls BUT Barbara you don't look like your profile pic. Aunty Flora Fly (No thats not a spelling mistake) saw her at my dads funreral in March with Ena Bennett.They both still sound the same, and after chatting for a while its as if time stood still.
i'M A youngster compared to all you POLISH people, but the name Flora Fry is ingrained into my young head!
idontknow
Diane - I know that feeling of time standing still
Michael - ingrained you say - hope that's good ?
Nope. nice pic though, Ainty Flora worked in that de[t woth all the nice lady stuff, crystal ornaments, everytime my dad was in shit, he would go pass Aunty flora and pick up a crystal permanent for my mom...... ... sorry a bit pissed,,,'

Ja no fine I'm sure he was sold something to smooth over all wrong doings.
Wind still blowing down south then.

The Margret on your pic: Is it your sister or even yyour cousin? If it's your cousin, I'd never had recognised her.
my sister.
It would have surprised me.
Georg
for you the only pictures i can find at present of my cousin Marggie
Wow, thanks. Yes, recognise her.
Is she still in SA?
@ Barb :-) How is your mum? I still remember one Christmas, your sister Liz and I did all the wrapping of Christmas presents and at the end of it your mum handed Liz and I a necklace out of her department.... 23_11_61
My mom used to work with yours at the shopping centre and I am sure she would love for me to pass on her regards to Flora. Infact please do from us both. giverose
Hey....Butterfly world....... We went there.....
@ Georg yes she lives in Cape Town - Northern suburbs works in Southern suburbs
@ Dunja thank you what a lovely memory - will pass on message soon, and get back to you
-Flora is still kicking about in Cape Town - in relatively good health for her age.
@ Mike Butterfly world we visited 5 years back - glad to hear it's still there. My memory is of it being hot humid and I left all sweaty.
Yep! Yep! Humid as hell.... but well worth the trip...the girls enjoyed it....
Mike, I hope you're not the guy they threw out of Butterfly World because he had two cans of "DOOM" hidden under his jacket! :wow1:
Nope...not me....But i WAS sticking up rolls and rolls of that Vasbyt Fly sticky paper...fun in the sun!
:ciupa1:
Flora is visiting the UK so thought I'd drop by and share a picture
This is Finbar (18yrs) with Mom and myself........
Barb a pic;of your Mum and my Mum.in O/M 1972
What a rush down memory lane. I remember your mothers exactly like that!!
Yes Cheryl, I agree! Never knew the two Moms personally, but DEFINITELY part of the images saved in my mind from childhood days. Wonderful memories!
All I know is that with time I have gotten both Fry families all blurred together ... there was a very strong appearance thread that ran through both brothers offspring ..
Mavis - lovely to chat the other day
could you just remind us who the customer is in that picture again
thanks

Barb .it was so nice to talk to you and your Mum after 38years.the lady in pic; is Marie Redgrave.
Thanks Mavis .. I was straining the grey cells to get to the name ...
Even better .. now got the full mind video clip of her playing out in my mind ,, remember her so well .. what I'm getting is the one night in the Stauchslager bar ,, sitting there debating life after death ... clear as the night it occured ,,, she was sharp and had an opinion and said it as it was ..
