Would have been 11 then, so out with my mates I guess. Summer of 76 I do remember well, was such a hot one. Don’t think I spent a day indoors ! 😊

Enjoying myself, being paid and drinking in pubs; those were fun days.

Trying to be cool….

I know I was playing music for a living but beyond that, I can’t remember. Lol

The dizzy age of ten

August holiday in North Wales, prob decent weather. Beach games, sea and fish n chips in news paper from Nefyn

At home be out with mates, football,cricket, might have been marbles then or was that earlier.

I was 5 so I was just about to start school !

Just leaving Grammar school then and would be starting my first job in Sept of that year.

Just leaving school which wasn’t the best place to be. But neither was home life. So got married first time round. It was the hell of my life . 😢

But I survived
Because I’m Staying Alive

I was just a toddler (3) back then so hopefully running around bare foot in the sunshine

playing with all the boys

I was 11 and would have been up to my eyes in clarts
messing about climbing trees
swimming in the river up near hexham
anything we could do to cause havoc lol
I miss being 11

I was 11 too. Spending the summer hols out all day either with friends, or over the woods and fields, or on one of my multiple trips every week to the library. I was no doubt bereft as Jon Pertwee’s Doctor Who had succumbed to the poison of the Queen of the Spiders on 8th June, regenerating into the imposter Tom Baker and taking a huge chunk of my childhood with him. Ahead lay secondary school, the loss of innocence, storm clouds and social ills.

I wish you’d picked another year. The summer of ’74 was … awful. I’d just broken up with the person that, with hindsight, proved to be the love of my life, and I was at rock bottom. I rode my motorcycle down to northern Spain, hoping a change of scenery might improve things, but it didn’t work. On the way I lost all my camping gear and had to resort to improvising in camp sites – see the picture. I was sleeping in that arrangement one night when a thunderstorm flash flooded the campsite and I very nearly drowned, only surviving because of the kindness of three strangers. The PTSD from that year is still with me.

I was the grand old age of 4 then, imagine I would of been up to all sorts of mischief with my twin sister!

No good 😂😂

You’re all so young! I was 27 and married. Worst time of my life but as they they say we learn by our mistakes. It got better, much better 🙂

I can’t remember as I was only 3 … lol

Still at school but spent the summer working as a delivery boy for the local ice-cream factory. We use to deliver ice-cream to campsites, cafes etc across many parts of Cornwall.

2 four month periods in the Med (Toulon mainly) also going to various ports around the med drinking lots of falling over water.

I was 10 so at school but In my free time I’d either be at the nearby farm helping out , or at my friend’s house, or we would all be down the village meeting up with our mates or on a bike ride and a lot of fishing four of us used to do a lot together me, my best mate, his sister and my sister.

And often on a Saturday I’d join my grandad in his milk tanker going round the farms collecting the milk

Probably learning to walk

Lots of answers. Sharron can I ask why you specifically picked on 74?….and not say 67 (summer of love :)), summer of 69 (Bryan Adams thought it was pretty special), 76 (because it was bloody hot), 77 (the punk summer) etc etc 🙂

I had just left school, was playing loads of football and spent most of my time out with my mates.

In the throws of first teen love ❤

I dont recall what I was exactly doing in the summer of 74, but it was probably very similar to the other summer’s around it – a caravan holiday down south or to Wales, catching butterflies in the garden and letting them go, playing hop-scotch or skipping in the street, playing hide and seek in the cornfields, going to the park down the road, building dens in the ditch, pretending to be mum – making mud pies and washing my teddies clothes and hanging them up on the branch of the Apple tree to dry. Great memories 😊

In my last year of secondary school…..if only I knew then what I know now 🙂

I was 9 and a half, but have fond memories of being a kid, 70’s and 80’s were the best years.

In the Army.

Wilma R purple hot pants early crush on sisters best friend.

I was 31 and bringing up my children 5 and 3 and the sun shone all the time
