A Trip to Bram, Aude, France - 25th July 1980

Nosher takes a first-ever flight (unaccompanied, too, at the age of 13) on an Air France Caravelle II to stay for a couple of weeks with former Au Pair Claudine and her family in the village of Bram, near Carcassone in the Aude department of France. These photos were taken on a Boots 127 instant camera and then spent most of the next 38 years in a box, sometimes in the loft, so they all have some serious colour-balance issues. But, they represent probably the first ever complete "roll" of photos in the whole Nosher photo history
