I'm not sure if I'd like this or not. My favourite fairground rides are the swing-boats and the hobby horses. ;-)
I haven't seen swing-boats for 65+ years.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Amelia club
They still have swing boats on the beach in Weymouth Amelia! I have to say, I couldn't take the swinging round and round now! Those days are long gone :)

I Love this one Rosa...............besides being very colourful it has a wonderful 1960s atmosphere. It's even better viewed large, on black..........the amount of detail in the carnival swing ride is just fantastic!

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
It was an amazing looking ride Keith.....not for me anymore though! Weston still seems to have that 1960's feel :) Many thanks for your kind comments.

Thank you George. There is usually something going on along the promenade. At the moment they have their sand sculpting festival.....There are many political sculptures, as you could imagine!!

Hi Peter,

I don't doubt your reaction to scooters. LOL! I had one in the 60's for about two months and just hated it! Thanks for your very kind comments on the photo.

Best wishes,
Rosa.
