My Parent's Lancashire home was of it's time in the Sixties, full of the decade's fashions and fads. I didn't know it at the time. I just thought its what all houses were like for every kid across the universe. I realise now that every home is of it's own time and represents a temporary cultural Polaroid like my own does now.
Besides toys, one of the bits of Sixties culture I especially loved as a kid were all the pictures hanging round our house. There were tons of 'em. Because I was always drawing hammers and hand tools everywhere, including wallpaper, a personal favourite was and is the artist Soulet and his little boy with a hammer painting [below] takes me immediately back to our staircase wall, where it was hanging along with other Soulets I have like these below. Did you have Soulet pictures in your home or maybe others?
