EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful snapshot captured by Alan Olley, we are transported back to the scorching Easter of 1976. Three-year-old Tom Bardy finds respite from the sweltering heat in an improvised shower bath set up in his family's backyard in Fulham. As temperatures soared during this mini heatwave, children like Tom sought creative ways to cool down. With a mischievous grin on his face, Tom stands barefooted under a makeshift shower created from a watering can suspended above him. The refreshing water cascades over his tiny frame, providing much-needed relief from the relentless sun rays. His excitement is palpable as he revels in this simple pleasure amidst nature's elements. The image encapsulates the essence of childhood summers - carefree and filled with innocent joy. It transports us to a time when cooling off meant embracing simplicity and finding solace in everyday objects like bowls and watering cans. Alan Olley's photograph beautifully captures not only Tom's exuberance but also the spirit of those long-gone days when hot weather brought communities together outdoors. This nostalgic piece serves as a reminder that even amidst challenging circumstances, happiness can be found through resourcefulness and imagination. As we gaze upon this charming print, we are reminded of our own cherished memories spent frolicking under summer skies – moments that will forever remain etched within our hearts.
