I loved the movie Help and had the record and wore out the grooves on the title song "Help"! I was over the moon for Paul McCartney! But I loved them all really including all Motown songs! Thank you for a walk down memory lane. :) xxxGingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05448401674397732366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863721388345667033.post-84941304351602757612016-01-25T19:41:56.064+00:002016-01-25T19:41:56.064+00:00Your welcome, I had to have at least one good phot...Your welcome, I had to have at least one good photo for all the years I have been here! ;)<br />We are very close I was born 1956. My dad listened to Classical music and military bands.<br />I loved Cliff Richards and saw him in a couple of concerts in my twenties, One when I was pregnant with Lauren my eldest daughter and when she was a baby , if they played Cliff on the radio she would rock back and forth to the music !! <br />I remember the sweet!! :)Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421536902399459683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863721388345667033.post-40330627122434148122016-01-25T08:25:36.773+00:002016-01-25T08:25:36.773+00:00Thanks for sharing!

You were a really cute little thing! <br />And what a nice theme: 'Ah; Memories'<br /><br />Are we in the same age? <br />I was born 1957 in a small village in the former GDR and before 'the wall', my parent moved to Berlin. <br />I didn't remember hear about the beatles that early, because my parents listen to classic music and we got no TV. <br />I was loving Cliff Richard, but was aged 12 then :)<br /><br />And I do remember my brother listening to 'The Sweet' all the time -and he was on the 'NO BayCityRollers'-Side!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863721388345667033.post-2494187830290951132016-01-24T18:35:06.965+00:002016-01-24T18:35:06.965+00:00Sharon thanks for sharing your memories :) It'...Sharon thanks for sharing your memories :) It's interesting how as children we'd stick quite close to home, although because my home was London and so close to the historic centre, that was my play ground.<br />Of course most young people headed for the nearest city t work, how interesting it must have been to work for the police scenes of crime! Bet you knew all the info!! David Essex , loved him... hold me close don't let me go... :) Bay city rollers more Michelle's era than mine :)<br />Liars... so dangerous to an honest person.. <br />I have to say that's my one good photo , it was downhill all the way after that one..lol xxxDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421536902399459683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863721388345667033.post-74645849927239086212016-01-24T18:16:28.316+00:002016-01-24T18:16:28.316+00:00A really lovely post Dee, thank you, it made a war...A really lovely post Dee, thank you, it made a warm glow in my heart to think of happy memories of wonderful childhoods. I too had a lovely childhood, back in the 60s and 70s. I lived my whole life until I got married in Rainham, Essex which is part of Greater London, so we too were very near to the hustle and bustle of our wonderful capital city of London. However, my stomping ground was more local and it wasn't until I had left school and went to work in London that I really got to know the city more. We did used to visit London regularly of course, we used to go to the London Paladium every Christmas to see the pantomime and my mum would take us to Selfridges at Christmas to see Father Christmas, but it wasn't until I was a 'grown up' 16 year old that I got to know London more! And then of course I got to learn a whole lot more about it when I started work for the City of London Police in their Scenes of Crime Department....a WHOLE lot more! And passed my exams for the Met Police too...only to find myself pregnant with Brendan! But oh what fun days! My loves were a little later than yours, David Essex was the absolute love of my life and close behind him came The Bay City Rollers, Eric was my favourite. Oh the fun of growing up in those times! We are all very fortunate!<br />And I'm with you and Jenni on liars. My dad always said "At least you know where you are with a thief, but you can never ever trust a liar!" and he was right.<br />Big hugs and thanks again for sharing.....and that is a super photo by the way! :)<br />xxxSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816580427584989752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863721388345667033.post-92048952383472833002016-01-24T17:28:21.737+00:002016-01-24T17:28:21.737+00:00Thanks for sharing your memories with us Jenni. wh...Thanks for sharing your memories with us Jenni. what a small world that you should have lived in Brixton around the time I would have been shopping in the market there or the big Woolworths!We moved out of south London to Thornton Heath when I was around 17 in 73, as they wanted to knock down my nan's house and all the row attached to it and around to make it back into an open area going back to the days of Vauxhall gardens.<br />I believe the Vauxhall tavern still stands which was at the end of our street.<br />S it's highly possible we could have passed each other in Brixton Market/ high street while out shopping!<br />I would love to say that liars never prosper but I know this to be untrue!<br /><br />What can I say I was a happy looking baby and it's very kind of you to say that you can still see a strong likeness all these years later and if you ring spec savers they'll sort that rosy blurred vision out for you! :))<br />Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421536902399459683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863721388345667033.post-56575300836070860462016-01-24T13:05:11.437+00:002016-01-24T13:05:11.437+00:00Ah,memories Dee!

Not of the 50s and 60s in your neck of the woods, but of the 70s to the 90s when I lived so near. <br /><br />My friend lived in those flats at the side of the cinema in Brixton and our girls played on the grass outside, went to the cinema and even performed a tap routine outside it to promote the opening of the film 'Tap.'<br /><br />I worked at Hillmead School in Brixton, followed by Rosendale in Herne Hill. After that I taught for 10 years at John Cass Primary school, the only state school in the City and where the children of the Yeoman Warders who lived at the Tower of London attended. Last of all, I was at the little church school opposit the Imperial War Museum - not the big one, Charlotte Sharman, but the tiny one attached to the redundant St. Jude's church across the main road from it.<br /><br />I raised my chldren in Craster Road, off Brixton Hill, was involved in amateur dramatics under Waterloo Station and still go to St. Thomas' Hospital to be kept awake by Big Ben chiming the night away and the traffic thundering over the bridge.<br /><br />I wonder, did we pass each other in the streets ever, not knowing we'd get to know eachother later on?<br /><br />So much changed in the world during the 25 years I lived in South London, but one thing remains the same for me as it does for you. A habitual liar is, to me, a dispicable human being. Thank goodness they are few and far between - give or tke the many that have passed through my classrooms and made up the most frequent and very amusing stories about their lack of the correct uniform, pencil case, homework etc. But I put their inventiveness down to my own skill in teaching creative writing, LOL!<br /><br />LOVE the photo of you as a baby. You were a cute little sweetie. Unlike most people, there still a strong likeness in your baby photo to the photos of you today.jenannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00321001863688006661noreply@blogger.com
