It's #ThrowbackThursday and here's our first foreign family holiday in the mid 1980s to Alcudia, Mallorca. The hotel was mostly occupied by German tourists and I recall seeing the young German man on the far side in his Miami Dolphins Dan Marino NFL shirt a lot. I was a Patriots fan even back then and knew the enemy when I spotted it.

A scan of a 1980s colour photograph taken beside a small swimming pool at a hotel, and shot with a slight tilt on it. Concrete paving slabs lead to the rectangular pool's edge and there are half a dozen people in the clear blue water with a young boy in the process of diving in from the far side and a young man walking past in shorts and an American Football top. Beyond the pool there is more paving with some loungers and fixed grass-roofed parasols, and the leaves on the branches of a bushy tree emerge from the right. The distant view is that of a conical hill rising up behind a lake with the sky hazy and white with the brightness of the day and limited exposure control of the camera at the time.
