ByDMcA


Today’s photo:The Lonely Tuba player. I was surprised to see a full marching band in Waterloo station recently, all dressed up in Ruritanian-style uniforms.

ByDMcA

Today’s photo: Another long exposure shot taken near Southend, UK, at Shoeburyness. Ah… Ken Dodd.  The problem with being born in my era is that I cannot get the songs of Ken Dodd, or indeed Keynsham Bristol, that’s K.E.Y.N.S.H.A.M, out of my head.  The latter was burned into my prefrontals while listening to Luxembourg on…
