Sundae's Album - Page 7

Dads camping in Rimini, Italy. He took Mum there after they were married, but this was on a lads' camping holiday. He took advantage of the burgeoning travel package industry which made foreign holidays available to working class people in the '60s.

The second is a more traditional holiday in Butlins after they married.
The callow youth is Uncle Jim, Mum's younger brother.

Uncle Jim and Mum last year.
From the Australia thread. Also contains photos of Aliantha.

Rimini again.
But they both went this time. Well they had met and married by then!

Many photos of Mum in her bikini. Hardly surprising.
Chose the most playful and least personal one.

The coaches.

Air travel was still beyond their means.
In fact we have a history of coach travel in this house.
Because if you really want to travel in Europe you can bear it.

I'm glad someone finally put a sign up on that hotel.

Alert: sandy thread-drift coming...

Here is a satellite view of the long sand beach along there.
The effect of jetties on currents and waves is remarkable.

This is awesome 'dae!

Mum & Nan.
Can't get over how Mum & I had the same smile when she was younger.
But she was cursed with bad teeth. Not the front ones. And like many of her era she's spent a fortune at the dentist just to maintain them. And she really, really takes care of them.
But she became self-conscious because she ended up with so much work done on her back teeth.

Hard to say where my robust chompers came from because diet, smoking and the cost of dental care did take a toll on the Grandparents. Note: no fillings, no teeth extracted and no dental work to this date. I thank you. 'Cept it has to be luck in my case.

ETA - unfortunate flaw on photo means it looks like Nanny is missing a tooth.
She's not, but hated smiling in photos because nicotine had stained her teeth brown.

And back to me!
I know you were just hanging on for that.

Two more from the vaults.
Mum is packing up for the move, which means finding and discarding photos.

1) Mum with Father Christmas in Bodgers department store in Ilford.
I love the zip-up boots.

2) Grandad at work. Probably not in his essential war role of keeping American airmen in booze; much later.

Aw... I know you and your sister don't get along, Sundae, but I just love that photo of the two of you. It just exudes the joy of young childhood.
