Carefree Days

It is lovely to see the old photos of Porthcawl. Our family used to go there every summer for a holiday in a rented bungalow, none of your mod cons then. But they were great times spent there, lots of laughter and fun. I’m talking of the early 50's, when building sand castles and a stick of rock were all you wanted. I’ve got some lovely photos of times spent there with my lovely grandmother and my aunts and uncle, special times. I have to smile now as people nowadays wouldn’t accept that old bungalow, it was very basic. And the grass outside was 2 foot high. But nobody cared in those days, it was all about finding your own enjoyment - glorious days.
