Me and my big brother :)

I don't have a lot more yet as I have been busy doing other things. I hope to look through some more on Sunday as we are at Bisley tomorrow. I will look for planes particularly unless you want anything that shows general life from the 60's onwards. Like this.

bobbob...
Keep them coming. it's nice to be reminded how life back as the sixties. I left home in April 1961 for the first time in my life to travel all the way from Middle Wallop, Hampshire, to Hadrians Camp Carlisle. I recall being more than a little frightend............... but as excited as a lighted fuze!!!


Nowdays it is not un-common for people to live with their parents till they are well into middle age.. very un-healthy IMHO................ It's no wonder that some of them have weird idea's Viz standing on their own two feet. And believing all sorts of crap about what constitutes true Heroism. To some the act of leaving the family home to go and be assesed as to their fitness to receive benifit is truly an act of courage.What a whimpish society we have become. And for sure it's getting worse..

Bobbob, sorry for going off on one but life is tough for this old pensioner, And I can't reist attacking weakness as I perceive it,

Please keep posting your Dads Photo's. Nice reminder of how things were.

Jenks,

No matter what, just remember to smile when you wake up in the mornings.
The chavs out there may be part of society but they are not part of your life unless you want them to be. Just ignore them.

Bobbob, keep them coming, anything, we love it.

I am one of those who wish we could turn back time because nowadays everything is just happening too fast.
So pictures of the 60s is grand:)

Thank you.

I was born in 1957 so I grew up in the '60's not that I really remember them however pictures like this always bring back some good memories.

Do keep posting them please.

Judging by my age that must have been 1965. The pushchair was probably my brothers before I got it and he was born in 1959.

Just a few random ones.



The paddle steamer "Ryde". I just Googled this and found it was used at Dunkirk and Normandy. http://www.psryde.co.uk/ryde/index.php



This is one of my brothers tucking into a cornet.



My dad in my maternal grandparents house in Poplar, I think.



Me being held by my uncle Len, my god father. My mum, her dad and my two brothers. Uncle Len served in the RAF. He was married to a Welsh lady who had two artificial legs. My granddad was an ARP warden. He couldn't join up as he was blind in one eye from being bitten by a dog.



Some for the plane spotters.







Last one for now. The street I grew up on from 1971 until I left home about 18 years ago.

That old Anglia brings back memories. I had one of those.

Did it wobble?
