6. USED TO

The way we were

Molly Hornby was a young girl in the 1960s. Read what she says about it.

“I was a young girl in the 1960s. My friends and I used to do a lot of things

which shocked our parents. We used to do things our mothers never did. We

cut our hair, we wore short skirts, we smoked, and went dancing. We danced

to the music of Elvis Presley and the Beatles. We also got the chance to see

the Beatles live at a concert once. It was amazing. My father went fishing once

a week. He always wished that I would accompany him, but fishing was not

my cup of tea. Instead my friends and I went for picnics in the surrounding

area quite often. My boyfriend had a car, a 1960 Ford Falcon, so he always

picked us up and we often drove to Brighton. We went to the pictures twice a

week and I loved to watch films with Marlon Brando and Elizabeth Taylor ,

especially the ‘Reflections in a Golden Eye’ starring both of them. I still love

to watch this film. It’s my favourite. I can remember it all so clearly.”
