Monday's Bench is from Weymouth

Monday's Bench is from Weymouth
HBM from Alexandra Gardens, Weymouth, Dorset. The building in the gardens that now houses an amusement arcade was once a theatre and on our yearly holidays in the town, my parents always took us to a show there. I used to leave my autograph book with them and pick it up the next day after many of the stars of that time had signed it. Unfortunately I do not have the autograph book now.

Beautifully captured Rosa and what lovely memories you must have. It is a shame about the autograph book
For some stupid reason the galloping horses always made me nervous, even though I didn't mind the much faster rides. I can remember my mum taking my children on them for me and she was so busy settling them that the ride has started. The man in charge had to give her an unceremonious shove in the posterior to get her up on a horse!! She giggled throughout the ride, as did we.

HBM and have a good new week

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Ecobird club
It is a shame Carol, because one of the autographs was Dusty Springfield, when she was with The Springfields! I know what you mean about the horses...I think it's going round and up and down at the same time ;-)) Your mothers predicament made me smile!!

Thank you for your kind comments & I wish you a good new week.

I guess it's the bench on which many parents sit down to wait for their children to finish their tour in the merry-go-round... HBM Rosalyn.

That's a very ornate picnic bench Rosa...........and it looks quite old. It looks impressive as the focal point of the shot with that lovely colourful carousel background.

It sounds as if you have some lovely memories from there. I bet your (missing) autograph book would have been interesting to have another look at!

HBM to you...........and have good week.
2 years ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
I'm not sure that they are old Keith but there are about 6 of them in the gardens. They are surprisingly comfortable.

I don't know what happened to the autograph book but I had a few good ones, including Dusty Springfield, Charlie Drake and Valentine Dyall, who was in a play that us kids were not looking forward to, but it was great....very funny!

Take care and have a good new week Keith.

A very ornate bench I suspect youngsters sit on the top with their feet on the seat, a great pity you no longer have the autograph book Rosalyn
2 years ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Peter Castell club
There are about 6 benches like this Peter. All families making use of them when I was there.
I have one autograph book from when I used to go to motorbike scrambles with my dad, but I wish I still had the one I mentioned!

José Manuel Polo club
Qué buena idea esa de dejar los niños un libro de autógrafos para recuerdo en la posteridad. Lo malo es que pase como en ciertos sitios de Internet, donde guardamos las fotos y luego desaparecen. La foto es colorida y el banco sólido, aunque no lo veo sujeto al suelo, parece de quita y pon. HBM, Rosa y gusta leer tus recuerdos de niñez.
2 years ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to José Manuel Polo club
I think my autograph book must have been accidentally thrown away when we moved house many years ago. The benches are screwed into the ground as far as I know Jose Manuel.
Thank you for your kind comments.
Best wishes & hope you enjoy the rest of the week.

\your autograph book might have been worth a fortune by now, Rosa,

Belated HBM. We're busy in the garden and in the house - spring cleaning. One wonder where the dirt on the carpets comes from. ;-)))

It might have been Amelia, if only for the Dusty Springfield autograph! Ah well, never mind.

Very busy in the garden here too. The front one has been a bit neglected, so plenty to do :-)
