To those of you who were young in the 60’s - was it really ‘swinging’?

I don't think swinging was allowed in our house.
My mum wouldn't have liked it.

It was a fabulous time! Born in 48, I went to Uni in 66 and had a ball! Loved the clothes, hitchhiked round Europe, saw some great bands, made some lovely friends. Felt passionate about causes - ban the bomb, Greenham, etc.

I was born in 1946, so was of that era. I loved the music, couldn't afford a lot of the fashion and was far too shy to join the fun and freedom, so much of it passed me by. I was married in 1967 and a mother by 1970, which I loved.

It was exciting, but I sometimes wonder if the excitement came from the life stage I was at. I left school in 1963, so experienced many firsts during that decade, including marriage. It might have been equally exciting in any any decade post-war.

I was born in 1963 so was only 7 by the end of the 60’s - but I love the music, fashion, & the sense of ‘freedom’ & change that came out of that era. There really doesn’t seem a decade like it in terms of excitement.
Was it really that good actually living through it?
