I remember that winter - living in Hertfordshire, no central heating, huddled round the aga, ice inside the upstairs windows and deep snow - but I didn't realise the sea froze!!!
I am intrigued by the idea, but already growing weary of the snow (not the snow itself, just having to go on with life while it plugs up transportation). This is a great PSF, I LOVE those photos.

Your dad is just so chic - No wonder your mum managed to look so elegant and 'Ollywood all the time - Now I can see where you get your elegant looks, Saz!
What beautiful memories!
We were at the beach briefly on Sunday, and the outgoing surf had frozen on the sands - I've personally never known a winter like it - I was just 1 in 1964, what a cute little toddler you were! xox
I ought to remember this. I was 11, after all. I do remember going to school in deep snow for what seemed like days on end, so I guess that it must have been then. The ocean froze? Amazing. Great photos!
I remember it well, it was the winter we moved from the centre of Manchester to Heywood (out in the country) to a new housing estate where there were no paths just frozen mounds of soil! :0
Wow... It's not often the ocean freezes.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos.

ReplyDeleteSorry, I hardly noticed the ice.

ReplyDeleteThat must have been quite a cold spell. Nice to have those photos with your dad to commemorate the event.

Went to herne bay once and have never seen so many bored teenagers. Kent in general though was nice.
