Blackeye & Stitches

I'm guessing this photo was taken approximately 1978 as I look about 14 & Jon (my brother) looks about 10. The journalling reads ... We were on a camping holiday in Kent when Jon & I decided to have a competition on the beach to see who could throw stones into the sea the furthest. I stood up to give it some ‘welly’ & got in the way of Jon’s stone. It nicked my eye and wouldn’t stop bleeding. I had a ride in a police car to the hospital and had to have it stitched, I was so proud of my black eye.
