50 Years on

Carnaby St is celebrating its 50th year. Is Mary Quant really that old? Are we going to see a comeback of bellbottoms and paisley? Mini skirts and plastic earings?
I'll keep a fresheye out for fun stuff to show you.

Theme Day - The Tenin Technique

Today is a special theme day to mark the 5th anniversary of Paris Daily Photo. Eric began the concept of a daily photo of the city you live in. Five years on there are now more than 1100 of us.

To mark this occasion we are all posting a picture taken from the ground or at an odd angle. A technique Eric often uses.

I chose these cupcakes from the Alice in Wonderland store of Selfridges department store. A cake for Eric to say congratulations and a cake for me as it's my birthday.
What a grand day.

Now see what everyone else has come up with

Sheep Drive on London Bridge

The building of old London Bridge was completed in 1209. Yesterday the current London Bridge was closed to traffic to hold the 8ooth anniversary fayre.
Part of the festivities included a sheep drive. The origins go back to medieval times when the freemen were permitted to drive their sheep across the bridge bringing them into market without having to pay the toll.
