Dad’s Slides, From The 60s / 70s

Not sure where this was, but it seems vaguely familiar.  That’s me on the left, with my grandmother, grandfather, and uncle.  Apart from me all are sadly no longer with us.

From left to right; my mother, my uncle (Mike Curson), me, my auntie (Anne Curson), and my other uncle (Dave Curson). Venice, 1970.

My paternal grandparents.

Me and my great grandmother.  This would be sometime in the mid 60s, in Caithness, Scotland.  She looks like a character from a Dickens novel, a traveler from a distant past.  Which, in a way, she was.  Born in the 1800s....fantastic really.

Various pictures of me growing up.

Italy.  Two different holidays. 5 years apart.  (1970 and 1975)

Scotland 1965 - 70

Me and my dad’s Sunbeam Rapier Fastback.  1968/69?

The top one here is Fairhaven, Lytham St Annes, but not sure about the other two.

Holiday in Rome, mid/late 70s.

Our David, at the top of a mountain. Late 60s?

Shot from a coach in Rome. Mid 70s.

Mum, late 70s (Italy?).

My Uncle Michael and Auntie Anne, Venice, 1970.

John O’Groats House Hotel. Built in 1875, it was doing ok when this photograph was taken back in the late ‘60s. It later fell into disrepair and laid empty for many years. I believe it was renovated around 2012 and is now holiday rental flats.
