Oh so OLD!
Alphbe has arrived at the tricky letter of ‘O’ this week. I was thinking of sharing some of my Oxford photos with you but then I thought I’d be a bit cheeky! So my entry for this week is not a place it is
an OLD photograph!
- Morris Minor
- Morris Minor
This is a photograph of me with my mother. It’s significance does not lie in either of us but in the car. It was a Morris Minor & I called her ‘Jenny’ (no, no connection to Mrs. Matlock!)
Apparently, my father bought her in East Africa a time before I was born & had her shipped over. She was an integral part of my early life as ownership of cars was not as prolific as it is now. The registration number of KCO 173 will remain with me to my end I’m sure.
I can certainly remember the tears that I shed the day she was replaced for Vauxhall Minx of all things!

Now pop over to Jenny’s blog & read some more ‘O’ posts!
What an outrageously sweet stop on our little journey through Alphabe-Thursday’s letter ‘o’.
This is definitely one of those pictures worth a thousand words…and maybe even ten thousand memories.
Thanks for the charming stop this week, Julia. I always love seeing what you’ve thought up.

We had a morris minor when I was young. It came complete with the pop out indicator arms! How times change!
What a wonderful picture! Very great idea for O.
Love the old photo and the car. How neat that you gave it a name.
what a great photo to have !!!
I love old photos like this…reminds of the early photos of my sisters or of my mom and dad when they were younger. Ah, nostalgia!
Hey! I remember that car! Thanks for the nostalgia!!
I adore and old photo. This is a really, really good one. Love that car!
Lovely photo…My dad had an old Studebaker and I have such fond memories of it..
Gosh, I’m old!
A cousin of Mums has a Morris Minor and it is almost 45 years old, it is the most fabulous piece of machinery ever but it is really just a showpiece although it still drives well. Not surprised you remember yours so well, they are beauties 🙂 Jen
The first car I remember is an old yellow Studebaker. i have some good memories of that old dear, too.
=)
what a great OLD photo and what a clever child you were to name her!
This picture is wonderful. I love the car!
Neat pic:@)
Wow! What an amazing car. I can remember our first car too – nothing as gorgeous though: an orange simca… funny how certain things stick with you!
I also learnt to drive in a 2CV, which I ADORED and every time I see one now, I get all nostalgic. Having said that, I don’t miss the freezing winter drives and dodgey radio…

A sweet picture! So cute you named the car:)
How lovely! I really do love old photos. Is it older than my photo in which I am sitting in my pedal car? It is from 1948. You find it by taking my About page.
Have a wonderful day!
