1977 / 79 PHOTOS and THE BROTHERS JOHNSON
Something a bit different this Week, I found up some older Photos of me and Susan from 1977 and 79. These first 3 Photos were taken Outside and Inside of the Shop, where Susan used to work, it was Her Father's Shop, it sold Leather Good's, for example, Bags Purses etc, it was called Regent Leathers, the other Photos are on a Day trip to London! Some are a bit damaged, but still great Memories!
Susan worked there for a couple of Summer's, the first being 1976 and 77, in early 1977 was when I came along, although I did actually go to the Shop in September of 1976, I took a College Friend down to have a look at Susan, who was working, little did I know some 35 years later, we would still be Together!
That was a Great period of my Life, I was working in a Great Hotel, I had no Debts, no worries, I had a Car and I had a Great Girlfriend! How things were going to change for me in about 1 Year's time!
I used to spend a lot of time in the Shop, I sometimes used take Susan to work in the Car and Pick her up after Work, one Day I remember Driving her to work about 9 am, and I smashed into the Car in front of us, I still remember it was a Volvo!
That was a Great Car I had, it was a Morris 1800, We called it "Bessie", I remember I had stickers above the Window Wipers on front windscreen, it read "SPRINT 1800" What a Child I was!
The other 2 Photos were taken in London, we had a Day Out with Susan's sister and her Boyfriend, it was, I believe our first time out without nathan who was Born about 8 Months previously, we were having a Drink outside a Cafe!
It was a Coach trip, we went around "Madam Thussand's" Buckingham Palace etc, another place we went to, was "The Planetarium" I remember this well, as I fell asleep during the Show!
Another thing that always sticks in my Mind concerning this day was, as I said about us being away from Nathan for the first time, well it was also my Mother's First time at looking after Nathan, on her own!
And what a Mess, she made of that, when we got Nathan home, he was Crying a lot as I remember, so Susan went to change his Nappy, well I will always remember, the state of Nathan's Bottom, I don't think My Mother had changed his Nappy all the time we was in London, his rear was RED RAW, he had Bleeding Blisters on there, all this and I thought my Mother said she was Great with Kids!
This I'm afraid was what we were going to get from my Mother, over the Years!
