What I really like about your photos is that those boating in the photos have aged as much as myself in the same time.

Love the 1970's clothes and haircuts. 

Just as I had way back then when I arrived in the UK for two years OE.

Managed only one waterways trip in the time on a Wild boat Caribbean Q?998 on the Norfolk Broads Easter 1976

Nice to see NautiCal's photos of the Coltishall Pub.

Those of us who were having a quiet sup, spilt our beers when the some of the local RAF flyboys decided on a very very  low pass immediatly overhead.

At another pub,  the publican was most unimpressed with kiwis, on account that a patron, a Kiwi crop dusting pilot had attempted a circle and bump on his bowling green after first clearing the roof of his two story pub.

BCN. The Old Main Line, on a very hot day. Looking like the most rural of canals. A coot and a pair of foxes watch the boat go by.

Athy, was the wharf like this then?

I believe it may have been, many years ago. I saw it first in 2000, by which time it was more sparsely populated.

As You Do

Those flared jeans look as if they had already had some contact with the contents of the bucket, or similar.
