Yours Truly
I suppose my love of vintage prams goes back to my childhood, i loved my dollies and i adored my pram.
I was fortunate that my mother, had the same thoughts, she was a very hands on Mum, making our clothes, baking, keeping a nice home, very caring...i can remember hanging on to the family pram, cream bodied, green hood and apron, i would be five years old when my sister was the passenger of that pram, i also know it would not have been new...
i can see that large wheel turning, and the gentle bounce as we walked for what seemed like forever.. i had all the wonderful toys a little girl could ask for, dolls house, cot, high chair..and of course my beloved pram, white and dark green, the Rose, by Silver Cross...the pram was sold when i was around 15 years old!, not really allowing my younger sister to play with it! wonder where it is now?..
so the journey started well into my 40,s!
Beginning with the dolls prams i started to collect, then one day, thinking i would love to have a large pram? so i bought one, then another, and another..you get the idea?
My mum is no longer here but i know she would approve....i am one of many ladies out there.. and i have met many, we all share the same passion..some may think we are a little strange, are we bothered??...... erm ..no!.. could not care less, what anyone thinks
we are also fortunate to have wonderful husbands/partners who support our interest too, they put up with our pram chatter, and put the general public to rights on many occasions!!. they drive us hundreds of miles, and even dress in period costume too, they help us take wheels off, put tyres on, and we are forever grateful!
No-one thinks twice of men, with the model planes, trains and automobiles do they? So come on ladies we are all united in our love of these wonderful pieces of social history... they have to be preserved for the future, to think many children now, will never know what a traditional pram ever looked like...
so check out the diaries, and try and join one of our many exhibits, normally as The Pram Society...but if ever you,re down my way, you will see me pushing one of my fine prams,around the streets of Hull, and i love it!!!....Jackie x
