 :)   :D   ;D

I wasn't bothered with dates but do recall the winter of 1963 being extended with snow still on the ground till May.  We had sledging on the school sports grounds which were conveniently on different levels with steep banks between them.  Wouldn't happen these days of course even if we did get a return of snowy winters.

I remember 63... So much snow and it lasted for a long time.. The sea froze in places and a neighbour told me that his false teeth that were in a glass of water froze overnight.

Dunno about the 60s but I wouldn't mind being a teenager again (only if I retained the knowledge of the world I've built up since then though).

Wouldn't that be great.. Hitch hiking everywhere.. Dancing and drinking.. The clubs and parties that we went to without even knowing who was throwing them.. I didn't touch drugs.. I had fun without them..

..........Coffee Bars, mini skirts, beehive hairdo's, false eyelashes, white stilettos, the jive, the twist, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones. motorbikes, scooters.  Good memories.

I suppose we would miss the internet and telephones but in those days we managed without them.

I was in the middle of five years of study and hard work but as one of only 3 male student nurses in a 1200 bed teaching hospital I was surrounded by lovely girls so there were compensations. ;D
