En 1917 | Back in 1917

Hoy mi abueli cumple 95 años, que se dice pronto. Y aunque ella no está muy convencida con esto de coleccionar tantos años y achaques, a mi me parece una maravilla pensar que Doña María ya daba vueltas por el mundo en 1917.

Mi abuela no es de las que piensa que todo antes andaba mejor, al contrario, siempre está al corriente de lo que se cuece y del color que está de moda esta temporada. Es irónico que justo le haya tocado una nieta que muere por fotos polvorientas e historias de antaño… Lo bueno es que en eso coincidimos, a ella le encanta contar cuentos y yo no puedo imaginar velada más interesante.

Las fotos no son del álbum familiar, son imágenes tomadas o relacionadas con 1917. Pincha sobre “via” para saber más sobre ellas | These photographs are not from the family heirloom. Click on “via” to know more about them.

Today my gran celebrates her 95th birthday, quicker said than done. And even if she’s not quite convinced of the bast collection of years and petty pains she is amassing, I believe it is marvelous to think that she was already roaming the world back in 1917, when life had little do to with what it is now.

My grandma is not one of those that believe that everything was better in the good ol’ days, quite in the contrary, she is always on top of what’s cooking and always knows the colour of the season. It is quite ironic that she got dealt a granddaughter that loves dusty photographs and dies for yesterday’s stories… the good thing though, is that she does enjoy telling stories and I can’t imagine an afternoon better spend.
