Riding in the motorcar in the 1960s
Listening to the radio on the BBC.
Passing lovely countryside
How pleasant that can be.
Cliff Adams and his singers,
What a lovely sound,
Singing something simple,
Turn the volume loud.
I find it so relaxing
And just want to hear more.
But if my kids in the back don't shush
I'll throw them through the door!!
Very nostalgic Don. Happy memories. Xxxx
Another good'un!
Admit it, they just get more and more bizarre! 😜
Mr D, I've got no problem with "bizarre"..... so do carry on!
🤓👍
I used to listen to it as a boy, my mother always had the radio on,
The Home service and the Third Programme for the intelligentsia. Mrs Dale’s Diary, Round the Horne.... sheer bliss...

You don't still worry about Jim do you? 😘
Absolutely. And the grumpy gardener. (Mont-something?) And Hugo the black sheep of the family.
Do you remember an early soap called ‘The Rowan Tree’? That was one of Margaret’s favourites and we planted one at the front of the house. It has become big now and the birds really appreciate it for the mass of berries each year.
I tend to be perturbed by Monument ..... the so-called gardener ....
Oh Don reminds me of nights in with my mother ironing and listening to the radio. Long gone are all those good times. Hope you are well and happy today x
Thanks Don
Took me right back to my childhood. Lovely warm memories of happiness and my mum both of us singing along.
☺
Nothing to do with radio, but I stumbled upon an old English comedy, Are you being served? I remember my mum mentioning it when I was a child. It is so different from comedy in this day and age. xx 😂
This is strange...The sixties brought us another British Invasion...4 cmop head youngsters, Paul, Ringo, John and George, who absolutely blew us away! The Beatles! 😊
Very vintage Don!! Enjoyed..
Give Midge a big cuddle from me.
Take good care of you...and Midge too!!
Stay well!!

Reminds me of Sunday afternoons riding home in the back of the car with my family, after a lovely day out at the sea side 😊👪
Brought back a lot of good memories, Educating Archie, Take it from here, Two-way family favourites. Bring back those days.
We didn't have a radio for a long time. Much singing from the back seat instead! Your way sounds much more relaxing! xx Moy
It’s hard to imagine now but in the early days of motoring cars didn’t have radios or heaters fitted. In winter you needed heavy coats mufflers gloves and a woolly hats. What must it have been like having what we now call COPD in those days? I suppose most of us would be dead, so be grateful. ❄️☃️😀
We still 'enjoy' motoring like that, Don. My husband has a 1932 Austin 7 and a 1954 A30 so we have a few cold outings! We used to have an open topped Austin Chummy and I had to wear lots of extra clothes in that one! It was lovely in the summer but not so great in winter. I find the cars a bit 'fumy' if you know what I mean. I'm sure the fumes can't be good for my chest, but I put up with it for the sake of marital harmony. Haha!

Aren’t you lucky having a husband with taste. 😉 My very first car was a 1929 Austin Chummy, minus a hood. I frighten my mate once by overfilling the petrol tank which splashed petrol onto the hot engine resulting in clouds of steam around me with my pipe in my mouth. 🥺 My first posh car was a 1936 Rover 14hp with a free wheel gearbox which I loved driving in mountainous country. 😀
Oh, so you went up market, did you, Don?! Very nice too!! xx Moy
And if you did have a radio in the car, you needed a separate licence for it...! 🤔
I think you rang a few memories with us all Don, how simple life was then x
That's brought back some memories don x x
Not my kind of music but I get it.
Brilliant .. my Da would turn the tv off some nights and listen to the radio .. he’d have a few whiskys then start doing his ballroom dancing with me standing on his feet .. those were the days xx huge hugs xx
Did you mean to include "what a what a" twice Captain? 
No I didn't. 😮 Fixed it now, thanks. 🙂x
