Sometimes it’s nice to look back – Flashback Friday!

Butlins, 1977. My Mum and I.

People often don’t believe me when I say my natural colour is ginger. Not the light, gentle kind of ginger, but as you can see – the super-duper red kind.

I’ve never loved my hair colour, and the minute I was allowed to, I dyed it any colour I could think of! It’s been pink, green, bright red, purple, brown and now blonde. I like it blonde.

I remember this family holiday clearly even though I was only 2 years old in this picture. We had a wonderful time, the old fashioned kind of fun – donkey derbies, swimming contests, fancy dress and glamourous granny competitions.

Sometimes it’s nice to look back.

Lovely photo!
I actually like ginger hair, the super-dooper red kind. Can never get my head around why people dislike it so much and feel they need to pick on others because of it.

  I like it on other people, I really do!
  
  It’s a hit with old ladies… I spent my childhood hearing old ladies say oooooh what beautiful hair you lucky thing!
  
  I love the Catherine Tate Ginger sketches – people really do dislike gingers but as funny as the sketches are, I know how much I was bullied because of it in my school years.

I think it is a beautiful colour, there are a few red heads in my family and I think it looks stunning.
