I think might have been disappointingly tame mod - I went in for wearing home-made versions of Mary Quant & Biba & day-dreaming that I was Marianne Faithful.

I remember the Cranks restaurant at the top of Carnaby Street, it was still there in the 80's. I used to love dressing up in my 60's gear (I was thinner then!) complete with black eye make-up, white lipstick and winkle-pickers, those were the days! You were so lucky to have been a Mod in the 60's.<br />I love your photographs on your post, it is very interesting to see how the buildings have changed very little but how life around them has changed somewhat with all the cars parked everywhere. Have a lovely week.<br />Jo xxHesta Nestahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260523918707092137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444887571509926414.post-64668744899170233142012-02-21T01:54:28.147-08:002012-02-21T01:54:28.147-08:00Hello Nilly.

I shall try and do the same with some of our nearby towns, Carmarthen, Tenby (which apparently has some tunnels under its streets!) Look forward to more visits to your blog.

I've just mucked out Bruce and got boiling hot, now I'm back indoors its freezing cold. Time for breakfast and a warm-up!<br />xted and bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08420272135724099182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444887571509926414.post-78510135732041651802012-02-19T00:55:47.063-08:002012-02-19T00:55:47.063-08:00Lovely post - the lack of street furniture and sig...Lovely post - the lack of street furniture and signs is the thing that stands out for me, the unmade roads, and no cars parked everywhere.<br />When we went to Compton last week, my husband reminded me that his father used to walk their cows 10 miles to Guildford market along those Surrey roads, unimaginable now, but your photo conveys it beautifully.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.com
