I only saw this photo for the first time yesterday.
From Left to Right; Cro, JB, Kimbo, Tenpin, and Lady Magnon.
The picture must have been taken in the mid 70's at JB's house. I had just built the small wall, on which we are all sitting.
Whilst actually building the wall, JB had offered me some Carrot Cake, which I must say was AWFUL. In fact it was so awful, that I built it into the front of the wall. I presume it is still there to this day.
I have no idea why I look so bloody miserable; I must have been under the influence of Lytton Strachey.
Ha ha, that made me laugh; you sound like me when I didn't like my food I'd hide it under the plate,but not a good hiding place like that wall. Lovely family picture; you look pensive there. Greetings Maria x
ReplyDeleteThis was meant to be for tomorrow, but I pressed 'publish'by mistake.
DeleteI always wonder how different and a like we look in old photos, it seems like someone else, (i just found a photo of my self from the 70's and had those thoughts).
ReplyDeleteI look so young in this one.
DeleteYou were so you in that one!
DeleteGlad to see someone else schedules ahead. Quick! Save as draft and then post tomorrow! x
ReplyDeleteAnd then posts by mistake.
DeleteAh the memories, Cro. That carrot cake probably had a life of its own!!
ReplyDeleteNice wall.
I left it showing, nicely pointed.
DeleteYou all look bloody miserable.
ReplyDeleteI can't think why; it's like we just had some bad news.
DeleteIt seems you have been building pretty walls for a long time.
ReplyDeleteJB's mother wanted a wall with a small planting area for herbs. Her terrace was tiny.
DeleteYou are all looking very Amish there. They are a dour lot.
ReplyDeleteGrumpy AND Amish... a good combination.
DeleteThe photograph reminds me of many I have of friends and myself from that era. We didn't build any walls, but some of did bake carrot cake. I used to bake two loaves of bread every Sunday.
ReplyDeleteAll a long time ago. Your hair styling is similar to that of many of my friends.
Glad that you and Lady M are now feeling better and enjoying spring.
Best wishes.
Yes, we're both back on good form. Thank you.
DeletePerhaps you'd been found out and JB knew where you'd put the carrot cake ! Friendships have foundered on less !
ReplyDeleteShe knew; I showed her.
DeleteI don't think you look awful at all - in fact I rather fancy you in a seventies kind of way. As for Lady M - she looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteShe always looked fantastic.
DeleteOh LOL at building the carrot cake slice into the wall! You look "cool" and real 70's. Thanks for a great post! Jo
ReplyDeleteI would rather have eaten a lump of stone.
DeleteGrumpy old cunt.
ReplyDeleteNow you know why my grandsons call me 'Grumpy'.
Deletelove the red braces.
