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
This was meant to be for tomorrow, but I pressed 'publish'by mistake.
I 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).
Glad to see someone else schedules ahead. Quick! Save as draft and then post tomorrow! x
Ah the memories, Cro. That carrot cake probably had a life of its own!!
Nice wall.
You all look bloody miserable.
It seems you have been building pretty walls for a long time.
I look so young in this one.
And then posts by mistake.
I left it showing, nicely pointed.
I can't think why; it's like we just had some bad news.
JB's mother wanted a wall with a small planting area for herbs. Her terrace was tiny.
You are all looking very Amish there. They are a dour lot.
The 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.
All 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.
Perhaps you'd been found out and JB knew where you'd put the carrot cake ! Friendships have foundered on less !
You were so you in that one!
I 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.
Oh LOL at building the carrot cake slice into the wall! You look "cool" and real 70's. Thanks for a great post! Jo
Grumpy old cunt.
love the red braces.
Grumpy AND Amish... a good combination.
Yes, we're both back on good form. Thank you.
She knew; I showed her.
She always looked fantastic.
I would rather have eaten a lump of stone.
Now you know why my grandsons call me 'Grumpy'.
