Memories (aka embarrassing photos)
That was the title of the email from my Dad.
Which I thought was a little odd because my father isn't the sentimental sort. Apparently my Mum wanted to send across some pictures from my childhood so had rooted through various tomes of photos she's collected over the decades and scanned a couple dozen in to send.
I haven't seen these memories in almost 20 years, but thought post a few up on here for a laugh. It's the only time I've ever shared photos of me growing up - and for good reason LOL. Interestingly, thinking back I felt like a spotty, ugly teenager...and here's the proof, braces and all!
So I present for your viewing (and laughing) pleasure...Clarkie through the years (0-18 anyway)...
*runs and hides* LOL
Around 1yr old with my favourite toy and best friend!
1yr old: on my hands and knees back then too! :O 3yrs old: bored at some football match
4yrs old: OMG! GLASSES! 5yrs old: NO SHAME! In Portugal 7yrs old: *swish swish* in Norway
8yrs old: winning my first skiing trophy in Austria :)
6yrs old: my "outdoorsy, rugged" phase 10yrs old: geekdom beckons...family holiday in France
13yrs old: "Good Lord...what did You do to me?!" 13yrs old: F.U.G.L.Y. You fugly! (Epcot Centre)
15yrs old: awkward and bad hair - yup, my teen years! 18yrs old: finally growing up, holidaying in Norway
Have you got any pictures you'd like to share? ;)
