Anna B Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Yes, that really was a summer to remember. Wall to wall sunshine for days on end. I loved it! I spent most of it sunbathing on the Psalter Lane Art College Roof, (I was working there.) I think it's the only time I got a proper sun tan in this country. (We wanted one of those in those days, the risks weren't considered.)  Now if we get 2 or 3 days of hot weather, all we hear about is global warming.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slighty batty Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 We had a big family holiday at a whitewashed cottage in the Lake District - me, mum and dad, my nan, uncles and aunties. Crazy characters and a laugh a minute. One of my aunties was having problems with hair loss and had a wig. I remember my uncle putting her wig on and doing a hilarious impersonation of a PG Tips monkey which had us all in stitches. My husband joined us as well. That was the summer we got engaged. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
