Two things which strike me: 1. The longing look of the young lady 2nd from right 2. The contrasting expressions of the lads sitting cross-legged A lovely photo.

John Spooner Who do you think she's looking at? The chap next to her, or someone out of shot?

Don't think I've ever seen so many dead animals round people's necks in a single photo before!

National Library of Ireland on The Commons I could not agree with you more. There is a Rosa Frederica Grubb (65) in Clogheen in 1911 - possibly this mans Mother? she is described as a "Female Farmer" (not too many of them to the dozen in 1911!!) www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai003292386/

There could be a connection with Howard Grubb of Irish telescope fame. The Parsons giant telescope is on www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/8392017304/in/photostream/ The firm of Grubb Parsons made telescopes in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Plus, can't believe that I missed our 2nd Anniversary on Flickr Commons! We launched on 1 June 2011. Would just like to wish us all a very happy anniversary (what's a second anniversary - is it paper?). Thank you all for making this "marriage" lively, interesting and fun. And we almost never shout at each other about map reading! :)

National Library of Ireland on The Commons Congratulations on your COTTON Anniversary - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedding_anniversary#Traditional_and... Good to see the tennis club in fine cotton too!

beachcomber australia I thank you! And in the bottom row (1st and third left) are sisters(?) in matching crocheted outfits - probably cotton also...

I think I can see 6 Ladies with wrist watches and 1 Gentleman with a wrist watch and 1 with a pocket watch on a fob.

Those ladies using croquet hammers would obviously struggle to play tennis with these "bats"! Or was this "Irish Rules" tennis - if your opponent doesn't play fair bop them with a croquet hammer?
