EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming vintage print captured by Reg Lewis, we are transported back to the sunny shores of Paignton, Devon in the summer of 1959. The scene depicts a carefree sunbathing couple, Mike Gardner and Valerie Vassallo, both in their late teens. Mike, a motor mechanic at just 19 years old, finds himself transformed into an impromptu footrest for his companion Valerie, who is a 17-year-old typist from Plymouth. As they bask in the glorious sunshine on the sandy beach, it's evident that these youngsters have found solace and relaxation amidst their busy lives. The warmth of the weather envelops them as they doze off peacefully under its gentle caress. Their youthful energy and zest for life radiate through their relaxed expressions. This image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents the spirit of youth during this era. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when days were spent soaking up rays and enjoying each other's company without distractions or worries. Reg Lewis has skillfully preserved this nostalgic snapshot from an era long gone by – one where teenagers sought refuge on sandy beaches to escape daily routines and embrace the joys of summer. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we can't help but be reminded of our own cherished memories from summers past while longing for those endless sunny days once again.
