@YesterdaysBrit1@Cockneycabbie_ What a time that was - 14 years old out on the push bike every evening and weekends , fishing until the lakes and rivers dried up - spent many a day that summer netting fish from dried up ponds and transferring to where water still was to save them!
@YesterdaysBrit1 Heading towards Marble Arch - this looks like early 70s . I’d be up there with my Mum on day trips to London , sightseeing . I started work just a few years later in Holborn 1979. London of yesteryear was an amazing place and I thought it’d last for ever !
@bo66ie29 Our family used to hire an orange Austin Maxi from a garage for us to drive to Whitstable from south London/Surrey borders to visit family. Late 60s/early70s. I recall fuel being 36p a gallon for 5* petrol. Going on the M2 motorway was an adventure! My mum the driver.
@bornatotter@CrowleyOnAir@BBCRadioLondon Went to a FOLO gig at the ‘fighting cocks’ bar in Kingston recently. Spot on ! Get yourself along to one of their performances - you’ll be pleased you went.
I lost my mom today. She was supposed to be released from the hospital this afternoon but had unexpected complications this morning left us with this giant hole in our hearts.
I’m sorry, mom.
This world got a lot darker without you in it and my life will never be the same.
@bo66ie29 Great film Bobbie . I first went to the Derby in the late 60s as a 7 year old with my Mum , we’d go up there for the build up which started 2 weeks before Derby day. This film shows how big the Derby was. Great memories.
@YesterdaysBrit1 In the distance - an MG Magnette (possibly?). Blue & cream . We had an ‘E’ registration as family car. Lovely blue leather seats .
@YesterdaysBrit1 It’s the summer of https://t.co/HVexSSDOKx 14 years old. Out on my track bike riding through parks.Saving fish from drying ponds. Playing swing ball with my mum in our garden, watching Concorde at 5:30pm arriving from New York! What memories.
