It's August and the long school holidays are well under way, Bristol is quieter and there is an air of friends and family leaving town for a few days, a week or even longer. Of course they all come back - usually with happy stories and holiday memories - that will hopefully last for ever.
Why do we always remember holidays so much? Lots of reasons, but one must be that we get off the hum drum routine of our every days lives and maybe slow down, speed up, do something completely different, experience new things and have time to be with the people we have gone away with.
Another reason must be that we take lots of photos, again because we have time and/or we want to capture the moment - whatever that moment is. Those photos in themselves become our memories and help us to remember happy times.
I found these happy memories just now - old photos - some from a very long time ago. I can smell the sea and remember the moments and those lovely holiday times.
Happy holidays
Lots of love
Mum

U Jim looks is really fat in that photo, unlike the four lovely girls! I am off on holiday next week; as is the case every August, to walk a long distance path. After 20 years the memories all seem to merge into one, the constant being time away with friends, interesting and, sometimes, beautiful scenery, good food/drink and no work! Love U Bob
