Great to see your old photos. Reminds me of me and my husband over the years. ❤

[@joyhursey1480]

Great to see the old memories. We are probably a similar age.Met my husband in 1971 and married 1974.We have many photos from the “ the old days “ and all being well will celebrate our 50th anniversary next year. As Sandy Denny sung , who knows where the time goes.x

[@anthonyhughes369]

Thanks for sharing..lovely photos

[@lindahiggins9295]

Lovely photos and great look at your journey together. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@susannordstrom5065]

Thats cool to see these old pics

[@barbarawiddowson635]

Oh those flared jeans, I remember them well. You'd probably be able to make two pairs of today's jeans out of the material. Thank you Bob and Jenny for taking me back to those days.Stay Safe.

[@chazsach6594]

I had a pair of flares, you had to take three steps before you moved.

[@CraftyCampervanners]

It may have been 'Throwback Thursday', but I feel like I've been watching The Sweeney !! Thanks for sharing.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

You are so welcome!

[@pamelajohnnysmotorhomejourneys]

They are beautiful photos, it’s lovely to look back on memories,

[@malcolmroberts4754]

Wow, I've been following you for a while now, great video's. I've also just realised that you have a connection with Letchworth GC. My wife is from there. Met her whilst I served at RAF Henlow. Small world. We're still happily married, currently living in North Wales.

[@ttxela]

Some quality carpets and wallpaper there, love the cars, I had a Triumph Dolomite 1500TC, loved that car!

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Our friend had the 1300, that was nice. Always wanted a Dolomite, somehow ended up with a Marina. 🤨

[@victoriabright7071]

This has just flashed up on my KZbin. Fabulous! It really was all browns then, wasn't it? Thanks for sharing 😊

[@mrmrst9020]

Happy times nice to see the cars which we had then brilliant only if we known then what we know now 👍

[@Merseysiderful]

I also had a Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48k bought new in 1984 after having a ZX81. I bought the Spectrum for £130 and saved up as I was being paid £25 a week on a Youth Training Scheme. Always fun trying to get the precise volume level to load and save the cassette programmes !

[@Witches-Fly]

Really enjoyed looking back at the photos. I’m from very near Letchworth, been many times.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@teresatimms1358]

Lovely to watch and recognise some familiar wallpaper and cushions etc. Its a wonder we could ever relax with all the colour and pattern that we had in our homes then. Great memories, thank you for sharing. 😊

[@kevinwhiteley2245]

Lots of happy memories Bob and Jenny. Love the tee-shirt Bob.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

It says "I don't need therapy I just need to go to Scotland" 🤔😀

[@petewaite4649]

Thanks for sharing, nice to see the older times. Loved seeing all the cars too. I too had a series 3 Landy around that time too, it was a CSW but very sad when I had to sell it as my upper body couldn't cope as no power steering so bought the Defender 300Tdi CSW with power steering and kept me driving for a few more years which I enjoyed..

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks, I'd love to have another Land Rover.

[@karynnmcnicol2754]

Hi from us in NZ. Great looking at old photo's and seeing how things have changed.

[@CaravanningwithourWesties]

I remember all the fashion and cars around at that time. Thanks for sharing.👍🐶🐾😄

[@patgillmore8460]

Great trip down memory lane! Jenny, I had an XR2. Loved it. Those were the days.

[@rickc322]

How lovely to see the past of you two guys. Take care.

[@sircaptainchaos2388]

Ahh the 70s all hair and wallpaper Fantastic Great memories

[@florence2712]

Very brave showing us your photos from the 70’s, the decade that fashion forgot 😂😂. Who can ever forget Butterfly Collar shirts. Think I’ll keep my photo album in the drawer 👍. Great insight into your early years

[@griffroberts548]

Very nice too!😀

[@CaravanChitChat]

What fantastic photos guys! So lovely looking through them at your time together and those special events in your lives. Interestingly we share an anniversary! Vicky and I married on 20th August 2016!

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you very much, that's a coincidence the anniversary!

[@gallivantinggalantes]

Hi both, oh I love looking at your past photos, the clothes and hair styles I remember so well. Great video, Thank you for sharing xx

[@jontymo]

Fantastic, loved the XR2.

[@ZerHour]

Wow some great memories for you ✋❤️💙❤️❤️💙

[@HitchUpAndTow]

A great look back, i'm so glad we have moved on from that type of wall paper and short shorts LOL. Stay safe 🙂Mark & Coral

[@ForTheLoveOfCaravans]

Loved that guys. Can't believe Jenny drove an XR2. Go Jenny... respect.

[@HappyTrailsHiking]

You two are adorable! Love all the memories you share. Thanks for being in the collaboration. Good to get to know more about you! Lovely wedding photos!

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you so much!

[@JohnnyBurr]

Great trip down memory lane ...... Wow the cars !! they looked like they were straight off the set of The Sweeney or The Professionals, excellent!!

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Got the music in my head now.... ☺

[@dannypettigrew5738]

Absolutely brilliant thanks for sharing its great to see the old photos , you got married in 77 I was 15 years old lol , both take care Danny 👍🏻

[@dalelbiker]

Awww you’re from Letchworth many many fond memories my mums home town and the monthly visits to se my grandparents there in Shot lane

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes I know Shott Lane, goes up to Hill Shott.

[@dalelbiker]

@@BobEarnshawMoHo That's it my mum worked for JT Stanton's where she met my Dad and my grandad was a mixer in the rubber factory

[@sonjaianhattiescaravanadve4847]

Great photos. Brought back some great memories. We were looking back at photos of Sonja and I in the 70s. Loved the hair styles and the big collars. 😂😂😂. Ian & Sonja

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, Jenny had a bit of the big hair look!

[@George5Bells]

Thanks for sharing your photos, brought back some memories for me, cars, clothes decor. Don't think people including me print out if even take photos like we used to, stood outside the house or by a new car. Guess we will rely on Google images or hard drives to look at photos, not the same as going through an old photo album. Have a good week👍

[@simon1066]

Great photos, great memories. Thanks for sharing. You certainly loved your Fords.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Still do..

[@simon1066]

Bob Earnshaw me too, my first Ford was a mk2 cortina, it was a great drive, but rusty as hell. I sold it for £150! Then bought a really solid Mk1 cortina. It was magnificent, despite its age it never had a single issue. I tied it to a sturdy looking concrete post and pulled out the massive dent in the rear! Always regretted selling it, I’m sure it would be worth a fortune today. Since then after working for Toyota and Lexus most of my career I’ve always had a soft spot for Fords. I have a 2011 Focus which seems as indestructible as the MK1 Cortina so until it falls apart, probably never, Ford may be my last car as well as the first!

[@jkee7017]

It's great to look back at old photo's. Wedding photo's especially to see all who have now pass and remember them. The1970s I was living in Saudi Arabia the land of sun and lots and lots of sand.

[@benimar48jt]

Love the memories... and Granada is stunning 🍾👌

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Such a lovely comfortable car.

[@benimar48jt]

@@BobEarnshawMoHo My dad had a new 1980 V reg 2 litre L 4 cylinder Granada, sadly under powdered unlike yours (but was still his and my favourite🍾). I remember trying to talk him into the top Ghia X with the lovely rear headrests, electric seats and alloys etc 😏. I love going to classic car shows and seeing these it brings back so many great memories👌 I keep asking the wife if she fancies one 😉

[@pauljohnson8464]

So young so handsome so beautiful

[@marypenny647]

Great pictures being the same age as you both remember the fashion well. Brought back memories for us aswell. 😁

[@MrJasdog107]

Wedding photos just like ours same clothes different faces we were married 76 even had a grey Mini. I am in the Benimar Facebook group a new member name checked you the other day said you recommended the group . Thank you both for another interesting video .

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

That was kind of them to mention me, not sure if I mentioned a Benimar group though. 😀

[@robandsally6071]

Great memories for you both. I had the exact same car, Escort 1.6 Gaia in bronze and I loved it.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

It was nice, do you mean the Mark 2 or the Mark 3.

[@annehemming1434]

Love all your videos, just found this one. Great to see your memories and laughed when you said your wedding date as exactly the same as ours 😊

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Robertonnz]

Thank you for sharing the memories. Like your hi-fi. I used to have a Rega Planar 3 based system. Just use high quality PC speakers now with subwoofer.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

I still have the Proac 2 speakers, in the Kitchen. They sound great!

[@keithbradfield7825]

Lovely

[@frederickchase]

Enjoyed your memories guys. the clothes, hairstyles etc. We also had an Escort 1.6 Ghia, which we bought in Hamburg in 82. We came off the ferry the same day as the Canberra docked and followed the buses. full of Royal Marines all the way from Pompey to Plymouth! You may have shamed us into doing a montage of our own.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

It's good to share memories, it's what made us.

[@Khatoon170]

Many happy returns wishing you all happiness actually we are in Arabic countries we keep up the fashion especially women in costume design hairstyles costumes thank god nowdays. Internet and KZbin channels making us as tourists around world we learn anything we want any time iborn in 1970s we watched tv video cassettes when I became in my 20s we watched satellite channels we used pagers now mobile phone internet users iam proud to watch your channel you reminded us of our childhood youth memories best wishes guys good luck to you your dearest ones

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you very much. I was at college at this time and we were told about the future when everyone would have their own personal telephone number.

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Great set of pictures Bob and Jenny. You have great car choices from the Triumph to the Granada. 😁 Trev

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks, miss those Fords!

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Bob the Granada’s were too old by the time I could afford one 😁

[@tylerstravels0610]

Brilliant to see you both in your youth 🙂 great video, i had a similar hi fi unit back in the day as well 🙂 One of my cars at Art college was a blue Morris Marina Coupe, loved it 🙂

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

We had the standard Marina after we married.

[@neilmackin5723]

Lovely to see Grandma Sally in the wedding photo - and I never knew you have a Landy ( says the owner of a 21yr old 110 )

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks, yes I had a 1976 Series 3 in the 1980's. Wish I could get another one.

[@WaggiesTravels]

I'm loving it Bob, I wished I had of known ! I have some seriously scary pictures of me !

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Do share! 😬😀

[@WaggiesTravels]

@@BobEarnshawMoHo We are going to put something together !

[@Crusty_Camper]

I've been enjoying your videos for a while as we have an elderly camper and it's always nice to see how other people use theirs, where you go, etc. But I now see we are of the same vintage. Great videos, keep it up ! All the best from west Cumbria. Pete

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you, like vintage wine?

[@DesmondsDonders]

Oh boy those collars and flares. 15 Aug 80 was our wedding day. You can be forgiven the Marina but only because of the Series Landrover. We also went to the Broads. take care and stay safe.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Wasn't my favourite, the Marina, but they do have a big following in classic car circles. Thanks.

[@TheCaravanNut]

Great pictures Bob & Jenny. Nice collection of cars you’ve had. I’m with you on the Granada, great car 🙂

[@kevinwallace888]

You wonder where all the years have gone....

[@daddybob6096]

Very nice Bob and Jenny, must say, what a smasher you were Jenny, still are. I was married to Sylvia 13 years prior to you, we had 3 kids, two boys and a girl, sadly we broke up after 18 years together. I envy those i know, who stayed together. They are all in Australia now and not a lot of contact. Its my 80th tomorrow. God bless you both, Bob and Jenny. Bob Wilson. NZ. Friday. May 29 2020.

Forgot how nice looking the XR 2's were.

Great little car, steering was heavy though.

[@roysole3294]

I bet you wish you still had the Ford 1.6 Ghia worth a bit now the photos made me smile me being 59 the 70 and 80s i remmeber them well

[@CarinSomers]

OMG the seventies, I was a little kid then but boy did I hate the colours on wallpaper, furniture and the clothes with the wide legs, ieeeuuhh. But what awesome to see it back here and well the eighties, that is my favourite era, my teenage years and with better fashion taste eventhough my daughters will disagree on that :)

[@herewegowithtim1984]

Love the wedding photo. You both are so cute.

[@markbur1503]

If we could of kept our old cars we would be in the money now!...... My favourite cars were my MK1 ford Mexico (sold it for £550) and my MK2 Granada 2.8 Ghia X ( The expensive Metric Tyres!)

Yes absolutely. Saw a restored XR2 for £14k the other week.

Another great Throwback Thursday video, amazing to see how much has changed since the 70s and 80s! Thanks so much for sharing your photos, kind regards, Simon and Elaine👍

[@NG-cb7he]

Great memories for you both Bob and Jenny just noticing you loved your fords. I was brought up as a child working on most of them in your clip and later on in life having to continually weld them for Mot. Ford escorts where terrible for the battery box acid rotting into the foot well pig to weld due to the electrics fuse box. Great fun you won’t find a grease nipple on the modern rubbish we have now Take care 👍

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

We probably didn't keep our Fords long enough for the tin worm to take hold! Miss them though, apart from the Mk3 Escort maybe...

[@NG-cb7he]

Ya great when they was new but Mot was welding time, but Vauxhall’s was the worst. Used to have plenty of spares for Ford due to all my uncles working at halewood ford factory . Good old days

[@M.Y.O.F.B5178]

use to hang the doors on the minis at Longbridge then Bob

[@Scud_and_thesTig]

Brown was definitely the decor colour of the 70s wasn’t it. I remember that a lot of internal doors were plain brown too

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, how tastes change.
