A Garden in Preston, Summer Circa 1970

The place: my parent's garden in Ashton, Preston, England
The day: Sunday
The Season: Summer
The year: circa 1970
The people: Dad [reading], big brother, big sister, niece, nephew, garden gnome and in the last pic that's me in the Donny Osmond cap and badged-up jean jacket trying desperately to look cool and my best mate Robin Adderley doing a much better job of it!
