2019 228-365 Treasured Times 1961

I hoped to spend this wet day checking out my dad's slides using a projector and screen.

It started out O.K. then the slide projector jammed completely. When Dave got home he offered to do a Repair Shop job for me, and got it working after a few hours.

This was taken earlier in the day, and features Roy, who you met on his 90th birthday back in April at the front, followed by my brother, Roy's three daughters and my sister nearer the camera. My mum brings up the rear, carrying you-know-who at just over a year old.

We had many happy shared holidays, generally West Wittering at Easter, and often the Helford River area in Cornwall in summer.

I can't really claim to remember this one in particular, but the pattern stayed the same, with silly games, beach cricket, long jump competitions, building impossible sandcastles, lunches by the beach hut with the children sitting around an old sun-lounger as a table...

Life was so much simpler then.
