Portrait of a Blipper as a young man

(apologies to James Joyce for a bit of plagiarism)

My sister and husband (BillyGoat) gave me a photo book for my birthday. It did not feature me very much but there were lots of pictures of my parents and their parents and uncles and aunts. She also included a few of her self, at a younger age, and of my children at various stages of development.
I have a rubbish memory and know very little of my family tree other than odd names here and there. This book is showing me what these "odd names" actually look like and how they are part of my life. A really thoughtful gift that must have taken a lot of time to produce. Thank you very much
