My parents should've known then that I'd soon be dreaming of heading to a far off land ;)

Here I am ............ I eventually progressed to "smart specs" and not the pink, transparent NHS ones. I hated that dress and my mum used to cut my fringe.

She did my sisters' as well. We all must have thought it looked like a straight fringe at the time .......... until we saw all the photos years later.

Once she told dad to do the job after a bath on Sunday. He based his scissor cutting on our eyebrow level. He forgot he was working with wet hair and when it's dry - it's shorter.

All of us went to school with a fringe way above our eyebrows. Mum might not have been an expert with the kitchen scissors, but she never let dad do our fringes again.

KITCHEN SCISSORS ffs !!!!!

Me on a horse in Derbyshire circa June 1964 and a couple of years later on the beach at St Ives, Cornwall...... where we seemed to spend all our summer holidays in the 1960s :)

Brilliant, I loved the seaside and you didn’t have to worry about hypodermic needles in those days. We used to go down to Lulworth Cove and me my brother would sail our boat around to Durdle Door. We were about 8 and 10 respectively; the health and safety people would have a heart attack these days. My Dad's safety tip was to try and stay within binocular range, which was probably not a lot use when he was perched on top a cliff five miles away.

More like your Dad pushed you and your brother out to sea in a boat and legged it five miles away, but the tide kept bringing you back in. :rofl:
