Sepia Saturday 774 - The (Wet) Look

 



The only person in this photo whom I recognise without doubt is my grandmother Sally, in the middle. It's the small girl in front who makes one smile at these photos, though - isn't it? 

Because of the photos being found in an envelope marked Tvärred, I'm guessing that the man to the right may be my grandparents' friend Anders Andersson (who lived there) - but I'm not sure. I'm also not sure when to date it. The photo seems to be of later date than most of those in the same envelope. Mid 1950s? I was born in 1955 myself, and I remember my grandfather often wearing a beret similar to those worn by the two gentlemen here. I also have a memory (unsupported by photos) that there was a girl at Tvärred who must have been some 6-7 years or so older than myself. Whether she was the daughter of Anders or someone else, I can't recall. All I really remember is that she introduced me to the dance called "twist", playing music on a small record player up in her room!
