1970..............what a fabulous yr, the start of all things glam rock, which brough wild hair, garish nail varnish and all things platform. It also brought ABBA later in the decade!
1970 brough about the Space Hopper, Raleigh Chopper bikes, the record player and cassette recorder plus Ken & Barbie......................the TV albeit in black and white was becoming a common household item.
On February 17th 1970 , Joni Mitchell was playing her final concert @ hte Royal Albert Hall, not that my mother would have been watching and paying attention as she was in the midst of a joyful labour giving birth to me!!!
Pops was away on military duty, whilst ma did hers and promptly gave birth to Sid! Thankfully common sense prevailed and I was duly named Bernadette after the Four Tops song.
Doesnt time fly......................42 yrs years later we still have wild hair, garish nail varnish and platforms of a different kind.
Thanks for all the lovely messages, I am off for lunch and a spot of shoppping, quiet evening in with this das husband and then swooper lunch tomorrow with family and friends.
Ah! brought tears to our eyes
