Those were the (pre-Ibiza) Days

Remember before digital cameras when, because of expense and time constraints, you only ever got the camera out for special, usually happy, occasions like holidays, weddings and more holidays. These days, in the era of digital splatter photography, people snap everything from the nightly Ibiza sunset to the inauguration of a new plant pot!

So, leafing through our paper photo archive which arrived not long since from a ten year storage in England, my over riding impression was that we had an absolutely brilliant time. Life was one long sunny beach, walk in the country or Tom Sawyerish adventure with your best dogs by your side. And weren't we handsome, and thin, and with no grey hair?

Living in Oldphotoland certainly has advantages!

Any road, you probably won't recognise the young couple in the photo below - no it's not Sir Oswald Mosely and Diana Mitford - in a well known European city.

Your starter for 10 is who and where are they? And no phoning home for the answers please.

There's a little slideshow of the scans I made today on the top right of this blog - click on it for the bigger picture!
