Bala is a town next to a very large lake,also named Bala,which can be seen just behind where my parents have pitched their tent.The car is our 1953 (?) Morris Oxford,which was a pale green,front leather seats and vinyl rear seats,with its 1400 cc side valve engine and drum brakes,it was not the fastest of cars but a nice size for the McBride family of three back then. The stylish front grillwas stainless steel. The tent was a French made Marechelle I think?

This was around 1963/4 ? OKC 475,its funny how some car numbers stay with you a long time,that car was a great experiance for the McBride family,we went all over the place,including Germany where it blew its crank bearings but thats a tale for another blog!
