Hope you have stuck with me? Come and enjoy the final instalment of this gorgeous time capsule, come say goodbye to Christine and her Dick (@slobberchops says I spend far too long rooting around in these places, he prefers a quick in and out! speaking of which, back to Christine and her Dick)
Snaps
Stood on top of an old tin filled with boxes of British Rail BR 1927/1 issue drawing pins, I know, I opened one to see what was inside! A group photo at a black tie soiree. Are our couple the centre pair of this group photo?
Grab a granny at the local OAP disco.
Snaps over the decades, simple mono , probably shot with a variety of quality cameras
Air fix modelling seems to have been a popular past time in the household, this particular set was released in 1989.
The Jungle outpost released in 1999
I had a Scalextric set as a kid, they were the toy to have for that era, sold by the clever ad men and their camera angles, it looked awesome..... unbox, set up ( which took ages) if you have never had a go, you ain't missing anything, it was impossible to keep the cars on the track if you went into a bend with any speed, and more time was spent rescuing the cars from the dog's mouth who took great delight in catching them and running off rather than actually racing.
Sew on badges, travel patches, girl guides and boy scout achievements, and someone called Deborah who worked in an Odeon Cinema.
I wonder if it was Deborah who had a crap taste in music? All very 1980's...... shoot me down, the 80's the worst decade ever for pop music.
