KhunDon Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Looking good Phil, but the baby has more hair than you now. 🤪 Remember dad taking us in the his little Austin A30 all the way from the South coast to Minehead, for a day out. I must have been about 8 years old. Can’t remember much about it, but thought it strange to drive all that way to the seaside, when we lived 50 yards from the beach at home. A trip like that was almost an expedition back then, considering it was about 100 miles away and it was 1960. The chorus from the back seat was always “are we there yet”? and the reply was always the same, “it’s over the next hill”. 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
