Summer of 69

The Summer that we got engaged ( first and only diamond ring) went to live in London with Mr Roses, and discovered the excitement of taking the tube to work and back ( jammed in like sardines!)

Summer of 69 we went to live at Changi Singapore for 3 years. O.H.in RAF. So many places to visit in Far East. Once we got used to heat It was a very happy time in our lives, daughter born in 1970.

Tripping around in long cheesecloth skirts and love beads in uni hols. Heading for Isle of Wight to see Dylan and Reading Festival to see the Floyd. Fantastic summer.

Just finished probationary year teaching in Kirkby and landed new job for September at newly-built school in a 'good' area and got married.

I was 27 and we had recently moved to our new house, from a bungalow. The children thought it a great adventure having to go upstairs to bed. Making friends with all the new neighbours and families. Feeling out in the sticks, as there was only two buses an hour. , but we are atill here, so it must have been alright.

So young, 21 and just married. Lived in a small damp flat which turned my husbands trouser zips green..but the summer of 69 was hot and sunny and damp was not evident til a few months later. No money, second hand furniture, beach mats as carpets, but happy. Still together about to celebrate 48 years next month.

29. Working for UN in Rome, desperately trying to keep away from the sun. Later in the summer pregnant with first daughter.

Just finishing my house jobs. Exhausted. Preparing to join my father in general practice

Aged 15, left school at the Easter so working as office junior.

21 and working for BOAC as a passenger services agent. A uniformed job which sounded very glamorous but wasn't when you had to carry babies with pooey nappies and help lug bedding rolls for smelly passengers who cleared their nose by blowing it onto windows!
The music of that time, however, was fantastic. Married DH in 1970 and stopped the shift work when I became pregnant.

Our first daughter was born and we were moved back to South Wales

I was 15 and I went on an exchange visit to France at Easter. The French girl stayed with us when the moon landing happened in July and I remember us sitting up to watch it together. We took her to London one weekend, camped in a tent by the Thames somewhere and woke up on the Sunday morning to find the campsite flooded and our lilos floating!

Like nina I was still at school

Was pregnant with my first daughter. Holidayed with friends on Anglesey. Think I am right in saying it was the year of the first man on the moon.
Yes, one of the best years of my life.

The year we married and I was 21. No money, little furniture, outside loo - very happy .

My son was born then. I remember it being very hot until the day he was born when there was a thunderstorm!

15 and still at school
