Still on the south coast

 

Another slide from the Beryl Blood boxes of beauty. And I wonder if one of these two ladies is the titular Beryl.

The info on the slide was "Canadel-June-1964", so...I wonder if the location has changes in the intervening 61 years.

Bonus - Little guy is having a bad day

A Simpler Time

 

At the request of very nearly a blog reader, (a Mrs Trellis of North Wales, I believe) we have another slide from Mrs Beryl Blood's collections of slides. 

Today, it's from he 1964 trip to Canadel in South France, and as with her slides of St Tropez, it's from a time before massive gentrification. I suspect that this little fisherman's village may have changed in the past 60 years.

Bonus - Also in France, the 2024 Olympics have started, Here's a video reminder of the 1988 Olympic opening, with...ummm... an unfortunate accident with doves. Viewer Discretion may be necessary.

Off-Duty Secret Agents

 

From the hidden records, deep in the vaults of MI4, the now-disbanded Department of Secret Naughtieness, we have this slide of Agent Garbo, Agent Bicycle and Agent Potato, off-duty after Operation Hat-Stand.

I can say no more.
