Albert And Gladys

 

This is a photograph of my parents, Albert and Gladys Burnett, which must have been taken just under a century ago (it makes me feel old just writing that!). In his 20s, my father was a keen cyclist, whilst my mother was more of a reluctant one. By his 30s, he had graduated to motorbikes, and by his 40s it was motor cars. Whatever his age, when the sun came out, he would want to be out on the roads of his native Yorkshire. The sun has come out, and I'm thinking of him.
