Picnic

"This photo was taken at Edinburgh Zoo.  I am in the foreground with my mother, Mat Stewart.  My mother is still hale and hearty at 101+ and stays in sheltered housing.

Hughie Dickson and his wife, Helen, are in this picture too, with their two daughters, Helen and Nan, and their son, Charles, drinking at the back.

Considering that I was born in 1934, and I don't look much older than seven, I would date the picture as 1940 or 1941."
