August Bank Holiday 1960

I found these photographs which Mom had painstakingly pasted in a book. I would not remove them and photographed each one independently.

August Bank Holiday week 1960, we traveled overnight from Braintree to Wales. No small achievement in those days as there were no motorways.

We had only known each other two weeks before going on holiday to Wales. Mom fell in love with Wales and it
had a special place in her heart.

(The full story of this visit is here, in an earlier post.)

Grannie Loughor, Uncle Merth, and a neighbour. We had breakfast, unpacked, and headed to the Gower.
