EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures a delightful moment during a Laing staff trip to Felixstowe in Suffolk. The year was 1954, and after a seven-year hiatus, Laing had revived their Area Outings for employees and their families. This particular outing took place on a sunny day by the sea, where a couple can be seen enjoying themselves on a pedalo. The image exudes the carefree spirit of the 1950s, with the couple dressed in casual summer attire. The woman is wearing a sundress, while her companion is sporting typical beachwear of that era. They are both engrossed in pedalling their way through the calm waters, creating ripples behind them. Laughter and joy seem to fill the air as they relish this leisurely activity together. It's evident that these outings were not only an opportunity for relaxation but also served as team-building exercises for Laing employees from Eastern Counties. This print serves as a nostalgic reminder of simpler times when people found solace in nature's beauty and cherished moments spent with loved ones. It encapsulates the essence of seaside recreation - water splashing around, warm sunshine embracing everyone present, and pure happiness radiating from each individual. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, it reminds us to appreciate life's simple pleasures and treasure our own memories created during carefree summer days by the sea.
