Photo: . Ozy .
Item #: 35589
Good photo Ozy but should you really be saying ‘Gay’ Paree these days? You look as if you’ve escaped from the French Foreign Legion….;>))
Is that Windsor Davies "LUVELY BOY"
You little so-and-so, young Ozy, putting that on! That's me and Peter on the right, up the Eiffel Tower! That isn't Ozy, Veronica,, with the cap....it's our friend Bob. Oh, were we really that young, once upon a time? Bob looks like that policeman in 'Allo 'Allo who says "Good Moaning". I need one of Garry's sherries after seeing that blast from the past!
It’s a lovely photo Irene I thought one lad had ‘got off’with a French girl! I recognise you now but I wouldn’t have recognised Peter. I assumed it was Ozy escaping from the French Foreign Legion! You’re right “we were very young once”…sigh! .
So you’re saying that’s you and Peter on the right are you Irene ?
Well I’ll be …….
And here’s me thinking you’ve never been out of Ince .
Yes, Ozy......I actually lived in Abram when we went to France with Bob and Josie, to see the Somme battlefields and The Commonwealth Graves.....so long ago! We went to Belgium the year after for the same reasons. It was in the days when you could get a one-year passport from The Post Office! It was before I had Jamie and Ashley and I have forwarded the photo to them to show that Mother was young once! Ashley says she thinks Bob has a look of Windsor Davies! (I don't think she believes her Mum went up The Eiffel Tower..... she is convinced it's Blackpool Tower!). Thanks for posting......what memories!
What year would that have been Irene? I’m guessing with the shirt collar around 1975ish?
And you would be almost right, Colin.....Peter and I were married in January 1974 and it was that year we went to France and to The Eiffel Tower. The following year, Bob and Josie were married and it was actually their honeymoon when we went to Belgium! Our son Jamie was born in November 1976.
Irene, I've just found your wedding photo posted in 2010.
Hope you don't mind but I put a comment on it so it might pop up again!!!!
"That's a nice shirt".
"It's a Ben Sherrr-mannn".
Irene,it’s a lovely photo of you..you both look very happy.xx
