Nope. Not here in chilly Derbyshire.
But, this slide from California, late summer 1959 shows Mrs Bushman preparing an outdoor spread for the Bushman family. Nice to see an appearance from some Tupperware containers at this vintage time.

Being a construction of your humble blogger Tepid Halibut, with the aim of posting one vintage slide image per day, from now until Kingdom Come. (Or until Mr Halibut gets bored.)

I wish I knew more about this girl. Who she was, where she was from, whether that was a special outfit .... all that sort of stuff.
But, all I know is that this vibrant slide dates from the early sixties, and there's a reasonable chance that this lady has departed this earthly plane.
Hmmm.
Bonus - ‘The working class can’t afford it’: the shocking truth about the money bands make on tour.
Bonus 2 -
Well, it looks like Mexico to me, but I'll open it to the viewers to add any better guesses.
I presumed that the sign "refresco nogar" would help searching, but that translates as "Walnut Soda", which sounds unlikely. Refresco is a big drinks brand, worldwide, so...no help.

I did make some efforts to establish where this truly mediocre building is / was, but I soon drifted off into a slumber. The original slide was massively under-exposed, so just be grateful I extracted any info for it.
I did briefly think that this was the gatehouse for HM Prison Ford, but it isn't.
Bonus - Headline of the day... Derbyshire boy, 9, wins at international 'seagull screeching' contest
Filthy beasts.
At least they could do it up against a tree.
Nothing says the arrival of Spring like an out-of-focus narrowboat, being towed thru a weedy canal.
Bonus - Bowling Ball Plus Giant Balloon.
A nice sunny day, here in Slideville. Not as sunny or as warm as here, but still quite pleasant.
This would appear to be Le Lavandou, in the South of France. 1964 (a very good year...).
I bet that the sand is a minefield of dog-crap.
Bonus - Trusting your products braking system...
Doesn't look like Copenhagen, and she's definitely not nude.
I'm Guessing Thasos, and Monopetri
Bonus - The Return of Ceefax
From one of the South American Adventures boxes. I believe that these are the Iguazu Falls in Argentina/Brazil.
That which does not kill you, will make you stronger.
Except bears. Bears will just kill you.

The Magic of Movies
Black Sabbath - 1963
That's not to mean that this is the 5700th slide on here, just the one numbered 5700. There have been gaps and miscounts etc.
But here's Robin, with a rather snazzy snow sled. Marked as "Lido in 1956."
That date was the only info on the slide, but I'm making a wild stab at a location, based purely upon.... notHIG MUCH.
Panama Canal.
What do you folks think?
Bonus -
One for the ladies, perhaps.
Alas, I suspect that Bob no longer looks like that.
Bonus - The mesmerising beauty of packaging machines. Butter Stick Packer.
Early start today - I'm attempting to climb Horsham Hill, the famed mounteering challenge in the Northern Alps of Norfolk.
As you see, the southern face is daunting, and I shall be needing pitons, ice-axe and canoe for some of the traverses.
