HAVE RAIDED MY OLD BLOGS FOR POSTS IVE DONE IN THE PAST , i wrote this one about visiting my granddad and reminiscing . a few months later he passed away so its quite a special one for me.
Watched this short film that accompanies Vic Templars latest book 'taking candy from a dog ' with a little nostalgic tear in my eye as it brings back memories of my own seventies / eighties childhood. my granddad Sid was a keen cine film maker and made loads of films of me and my family as we grew up , he also loved to take his camera everywhere and document every special occasion , day trip etc. . He's in his nineties now and not as sprightly as he used to be but through his passion for film we have an everlasting view into our past . he keeps finding more photos he's put away and I have many a happy time going through the sweetie tins full of them finding out who the people are and with my love for vintage there is plenty of inspiration . but mostly it reminds me of a happy time when all my grandparents were still alive and we all used to get together for Christmases , birthdays etc. for a celebratory glass of Tizer and watch these little films of our golden years.
