Hayley's Little Boy, Crispian.
Tuesday morning. It's wet and windy, and I'm in the mood for a bit of music. This really deserves a re-run. Turn the volume right up, and marvel at the Hendrix inspired intro'.
The band's singer, Crispian Mills, is the son of Hayley and the grandson of Sir John. Kula Shaker were a classic London band; one good number (this one), a bit of controversy, then au revoir!
Sorry Cro - I didn't know of his existence and have not knowingly bumped into him here. Like him, I used to fancy Hayley Mills when I was a kid ('whistle Down the Wind', 'Pollyanna', etc.) but I will quickly add that she is a couple of years older than me, before you get the wrong idea.
THE BELLS ..... THE BELLS ..........

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Crispian Boulting (his real name, as his dad was Roy Boulting) lives in Bath. So will Tom have tales to tell?

ReplyDeleteHang on - is it Crispian or Roy who lives in Bath? I've got quite a few ex pop star mates here, but he's not one of them.
ReplyDeleteIt's Crispian (what was Hayley thinking when she named him that). He probably owns a compact but adorable...
ReplyDeleteNot sure if Roy B is still with us.
That's wild. I'm definitely more awake!
ReplyDeleteCrispian looks a lot like his famous grandfather.
