I snapped this shot of my new bride on the rocks at the end of the beach near the Sandy Beach Apartments (the Google photo bears little resemblance to the location as it was forty-three years ago!) where we were staying.
The year before we were married we were out in Sydney (where we lived at the time) and popped into one of those self-photo booths, which were dotted here and there (usually at railway stations) and often used by people wanting wallet-sized B&W prints or shots for a passport application.
This is the only such photo which I still have of that era.....
In 1976 we moved from suburban Sydney to our new home at 72 Buena Vista Road, Winmalee (Google photo is recent...taken after the fires of 2013) in the Blue Mountains, both of us commuting to work in Sydney by train.
The following photo - one of my favourites of Shirley (she looks very contemplative) - was taken in 1977 at the dining table.
Memories are enhanced by photos because they trigger details.
These pix bring back memories of some wonderful times.
