EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful print captured in July 1987, we witness the sheer innocence and playful nature of Jolly, a four-year-old chimp residing at Twycross Zoo near Tamworth. As rain pours down from above, Jolly stands under an umbrella with a mischievous grin on his face. With his tiny wellington boots protecting his feet from the wet ground, he seems to be thoroughly enjoying this unexpected shower. The image transports us back to the vibrant era of the 1980s, reminding us of simpler times when joy could be found in even the simplest things like raindrops falling from the sky. Jolly's infectious enthusiasm is palpable as he embraces this whimsical moment with open arms. This photograph serves as a heartwarming reminder that happiness can be found in unexpected places and that sometimes it takes just a little rain to bring out our inner childlike wonder. It captures not only Jolly's carefree spirit but also reflects our own longing for carefree moments amidst life's daily challenges. As we gaze upon this charming scene frozen in time by Birmingham Post and Mail photographers, we cannot help but smile alongside Jolly. His innocent exclamation - "What a silly shower!" - resonates deeply within us all, inviting us to embrace life's silliness and find joy even in unpredictable weather conditions. Memory Lane Prints allows us to cherish these timeless snapshots that capture fleeting moments of pure bliss – moments like these where a young chimp named Jolly reminds us all
