Jeesy peeps.
I remember in 1966 my dad took the family to the continent which is what we called Europe in those days. I was 10.
We landed in Belgium then hit France and Holland staying at camp sites. I can always remember a day trip to Aachen. I'd never seen a nicer, cleaner, more modern city in my life. I guess they had to flatten everything and start new.
Then we came home to dreary 60's Scotland.........
