Remembering Linda

^ OMG, I had a ton of argyle socks in the late '60s and '70s!

Me too! They seemed really "academic" to wear when I was in college.
Love their style and color combinations.
She and Paul seemed to like knitted sweaters and comfy socks. They went for comfort rather than trying to follow fashion fads.
Edited to add: Just noticed it looks like Linda is sitting on a saddle in the photo above. Wonder if Paul had given that as a gift for one of her horses? And perhaps it was taken on her birthday?
Below is a lovely photo of Linda we may not have seen before. I'm guessing 1992?

^ That saddle is small and appears to be on a rocking horse. I seem to recall another pic of that same rocking horse, but I never saved it.

Thanks! DOH. It's a rocking horse... should have looked more closely instead of just a few seconds before posting. Was probably a gift for one of their girls. (Photo looks like it was taken a few years before James was born.)

This is a close-up of what was on the wall in the "argyle socks" photo I posted above. Looks like it may be a fold-out poster. It's interesting artwork, and it looks like an illustration of Linda seated at a table inside the window.
From Linda's official instagram.

^ Well spotted!
-
There is a larger photo of Paul and Linda on the rocking horse. There is a painting the same colors as the twin freaks album on the wall. There was another photo in which Paul also had a different rocking horse, it was taken outdoors on a patio area, and I believe there was a pumpkin and fall flowers. It was from a couple of years ago.

^ That's the one of Paul & Linda that I was thinking of! Thanks oobu! What year do you think that was?
-
Thanks so much for posting those photos, 0obu!
-
Caption says this was taken in late Fall, 1968 (perhaps on their trip to Portugal?)
-
Thanks for posting those... the rocking horse outside the kitchen is from 2015 (date by signature) and it looks like it’s an Appaloosa rocking horse too! Cool
-
Found out (thanks Nancy!) that the photo above couldn't have been taken in Portugal, since Paul had a beard during that vacation (see below). It's more likely that the photo was taken during the Abbey Road sessions instead. Paul, Linda and Heather are pictured with Beatles biographer Hunter Davies and his family.

In the picture of Linda, the one with the blue blouse, do any of the large black forms on her blouse remind you of the Sunprint photo of Baby James on a canvas?

Yes, it does look like the photo of James! I think the print is of sea mammals like dolphins and whales, however, but we'll have to see if there's other photos of this dress. Looks like the blue dress photo is from the early 1990s. She and Paul liked to wear the same clothes to different events (which I think was wonderful because it shows how down to earth they were, and how Paul still is of course.) so maybe there's other photos of that dress.
This is a photo of Paul and Linda at a wedding in the early 1990s.. I'm thinking it might be her sister Laura's wedding, but not sure...
-
^ I looked in my Sunprints book (bought in Liverpool for £1.99!) and I couldn't find the photo you were referring to. Is it in a different book?
My friend Jennifer sent me some pics of one of Linda's sister's wedding. A friend of hers played guitar at it. Will try to find the pics.

I think the photo Love2Travel is referring to about James is a black and white, when he was a baby but looks like he's somehow in mid-air... but he wasn't... it's been posted on Linda's Instagram, maybe we can look there
-
I think this is the photo of baby James that Love2Travel was referring to earlier. It was posted on Linda's official Instagram on May 7, 2017
