These photographs were knocking around in my mother's wardrobe for years. They bear the scars as both are rather damaged. When I was a child I used to sneak into my parent's room and go through all the photographs in the wardrobe. They contained pictures of my parents before they met each other and before I was born, and were full of fascination.
This group of walkers looked relaxed and happy. The man on the left is my father but the woman next to him is not my mother! She never knew who she was .."just someone he knew before he met me!" (Apparently in his younger days there were plenty of women that were interested in him!)
Thus is the same group, looking very fit and healthy. They could almost be in an advertisement for a health cure!
I'm not sure where they are but my guess would be either the Isle of Wight or Jersey.

Lovely photos. Oh to be young again and this fit!
Great looking people! Your father looked handsome and fit - I'm sure the girls were after him. It's always funny isn't it to think of your parents in that way...as
