Stonehaven Open Air Pool, circa 1967 by jamibann

Stonehaven Open Air Pool, circa 1967

I got a surprise when I went to our local delicatessen the other day when Linda, one of the staff, said she had a photo to show me. This really made me smile. I'm on the right hand side, in the white skirted swimming costume. Linda is in the 'boat' in her shorts and t-shirt. She still looks the same! She says I was posh because I had a swimming costume. I don't think so, but I do remember that costume really well. It was red and white with little flower motifs across the chest. Ah, those were the days. Such simple fun, when stress and worry weren't words we knew.
That is full of laughter and fun! Absolutely super memory

We stayed overnight in a B&B in Stonehaven. Is that the place with a big red brick wall/breakwater/thingo at the waters edge?

Brilliant!! My sister and I had blue costumes with white skirts - must have been all the rage. Not much elf and safety there - nice concrete walls to fall on but I expect you all survived 😄

Such a fun shot! That was quite the swimming pool with all its decorations. No wonder everyone is having such fun. Going to the pool was one of our family's favorite pass times when I was growing up. Great walk down memory lane!

@terryliv There is a breakwater wall ... but I don't remember it being red. It may well be the same place though - it's been a while since I was there!
