[Leica] IMG : Ladies working on the nets - Douglas B

[Philippe]

Thanks Douglas.

I’m unsure about the camera. I owned a Pentax Spotmatic F bought from the shop on Trafalgar Square then. But it might also have been a Minolta SRT 101 that my Godfather had lent me. He had lenses that covered wider and longer FL than my own and I was travelling with him.

Lobsters in your backyard ! As soon as Ryanair operates again I’ll be there :-)

Thanks again

Amities

Philippe

However, in Ireland, in fishing ports like Schull, it seemed to be the men doing net repairing.  I was working in a bank in Ireland at the time and we had a major bank strike in '76, and unlike the other major one in '70, this time I went abroad and spent some time in Majorca, then Arenys until I ran out of money and had to go to Ireland's fellow EEC member France to work in a restaurant - no jobs in Spain at the time.
