It was warm walking in heavy boots, and carrying haversack so he threw off most of his clothing and just relaxed in that sunshine, soon dozing off. She found a task for idle hands, and with needle and thread soon got to work mending his clothes. April 1958 K2069-001

30 39 Years Deckchairs Holidaymakers Make Do And Mend Married Couple Sewing Sunbathing
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from April 1958, we are transported back to a simpler time when holidays were cherished and making the most of every moment was a priority. The image captures a married couple enjoying a sunny day at the beach, surrounded by deckchairs and other holidaymakers. The man is seen walking in heavy boots, burdened by his haversack. However, feeling the warmth of the sun on his skin, he decides to shed most of his clothing and simply bask in its rays. As relaxation takes over him, he dozes off peacefully. Meanwhile, his industrious wife finds solace in keeping her hands busy. Armed with needle and thread, she skillfully mends her husband's clothes while they enjoy their leisurely day at the seaside. This act of "make do and mend" exemplifies the resourcefulness that defined this era. This photograph beautifully encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also an entire era characterized by simplicity and contentment. It serves as a reminder of how precious these moments can be – when all worries fade away under the warm embrace of sunshine and love. Memory Lane Prints has expertly captured this nostalgic scene from our past for us to cherish today.
