Going For A Paddle

CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE. REPEAT IF REQUIRED.

On another summery September day Jackie and I nursed colds indoors whilst Aaron and Sean virtually completed removing the grizelinia hedge. I scanned another couple of dozen colour slides from September 1982. These were from a holiday in Brittany enjoyed with our friends Ann and Don. Here is a selection:

This evening we dined on pizza and I drank Doom Bar.

  1. Sam with his baby sister was so precious. I like that you mentioned he was telling her about his experience in the water. 🙂
    I love the photo of joyous children all running into the water!
