In my earlier posts I mentioned that I had visited Wales several times and this time I returned to an old favourite.
The picture above is Aberdovey in 1985 and this is Aberdovey today…
In 1968 I went on holiday to Aberdovey at Plas Pantiedal Holiday village near Aberdovey and one day we visited Lake Bala…
and almost fifty years later I have taken my grandchildren to the same place (well, almost)…
In 1985 it was my first holiday with my daughter, Sally …
and here we are again…
The beach at Aberdovey in 1976 playing boules with my brother, Richard…
and all of these years later my grandchildren playing on the same beach…
With my daughter, Sally in 1986…
And with my grandchildren, Molly, Patsy and William in 2015…
Finally with the full crew…

Some beautiful family photographs! Mind you, boules at Aberdvey does look a bit parky!

I remember that being a decent day weather wise. I think the photo has faded. It was probably Bonusprint or Trueprint. They were bad for that. I have scanned as may in as possible before they disappear to nothing!

Thanks Sue. I’ll go back to Wales in 10 years or so and if I am still blogging I’ll do another ‘look back’ post.
