Before we leave the car theme altogether (well, for now), this photo is a wonderful reminder of the Durban holidays that we used to have in the early 1960s. To those youngsters who are wondering who these gorgeous people are, that's young Heidi on the left and me on the right. Mom is in the yellow shirt next to her father and our beloved grandfather. Mom called her father 'Pop'; Heidi and I called him 'Bop'.
This was taken in 1965. Heidi is eight and I am five. In those days, Durban had a funfair next to the beach. Our holidays always included rides on the cars, boats, trains and ferris wheels at the funfair. Heaps of candyfloss too, which went all sticky in the humidity. Absolute heaven!
Bop is wearing a tie! Cant remember that he was ever without one!
