Every time I go on a mission to look for something specific I always end up realising how horribly exposed we are to losing everything should there be a disaster of some kind.
But it’s been bloody good fun going through old albums that I probably haven’t looked at for the best part of 20 years, certainly it’s entertaining for my boys who’ve never seen parts of their family history. It’s also given me a kick up the arse to contact my brother-in-law in Pretoria who we know had a whole heap of celluloid photos of us hunting together in Northern Transvaal - those I really would like to see again.
