La Fête des Mères 2008

As it's La Fête des Mères here in France, a small tribute to my mother. We did have Mothering Sunday together earlier this year.

As a small child.

As a young woman, with her beloved violin.

Newly married and in her first flat, pictured with a friend. My father was already away in the army in 1942.

On her 88th birthday last year 2007.
