The Summer of '76
Discussion
Chatting to another Boat owner last Friday, weather was glorious and 10cc's ' I'm not in Love ' came on the radio and he said it felt just like the Summer of 1976, to which i readily agreed.
Then when i actually thought about it...38 yrs ago..Jeez.
For a short while afterwards i just sat on the Pontoon feeling somewhat sad by just how long ago those times were.
FFS, i wanna be 13yrs old again.
Anyone else old enough to remember that crazy, hot year?
p.s. ( i know the song was out in 1975 but for me it brings back unforgettable times from '76 )

I remember it well, I was 22 and took some time off from working and bummed around for a while, I had long hair and I was accused of having highlights put in but it was just sun bleached.
Lots of alcohol, some recreational drugs, lots of time on the beach, good friends. Good memories, well the bits I remember were good.

Had just left school. Spent all days on the beach, and evenings working as a stagehand in a theatre in Gt. Yarmouth. Fantastic memories, particularly of staring from behind sunglasses at one of the girls in our group, whose bikini bottoms were just a little too brief as she sat cross-legged.

went for a long walk as an 11 year old on the Isle of Mull. Came back with a load of sheep ticks, that is one memory from the year of washing the car with bath water. The days when showers were only in nature- well in our house anyway.
I was 11 too! I recall long days spent in the garden and total lack of rain. Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
