another great pic anita are you on the right and did you come from wigan or were you visiting friends again just looking at your clothes really is nostalgic , those hairdoos the girl in the middle looks to have a suede coat on? i had one like it mine was a mustard colour with leather pocket flaps sounds yuk now but i loved it i literally had to beg and scrike to my dad for it he always gave in in the end(lovely dad) my sister had a dark brown one and the most gorgeouse purple long leather coat think she still got it heavenly days.

I agree with Josie on all the comments she has made. A better world then...a gentler time.

Josie, I think the dress sense of ladies in the 60s was fab, that glorious decade was absolutely fantastic. Why did that era end, today it's all about tatoos, and jeans.
