let's see Paddy. I had red flares in the 70's, denim bell bottoms with an inset of a different colour on the bell, skinners, Birmingham bags, Gatsby Jumpers, yellow Paisley shirts ....

No way, Mark. I couldn't take the embarrassment.

Anthony, snake skin shoes, now that's serious fashion.

Anybody out there recognise this caterpillar ? I found it this morning where it had probably been feeding on the Lonicera above the area that I was clearing up. Its about 30mm long.

Could well be Maggi but rather itchy to wear I think!

Thankyou Mark, there is a mature birch growing about 25 feet away from where I found it.

Robin,

I have a photographs of a very young self, dressed ever so stylishly in purple flairs and purple turtleneck, walking down Carnaby St., late '60s or early '70s. Fab or what!

I tried to thumb a lift from Stirling to Callander late one Saturday night in the early 70s (I'd already walked the two mile from the Westerton Arms in Bridge of Allan to Stirling). I was wearing a pair of high-heeled snaked skin shoes. 8) I eventually took them off and walked in my socks because my feet were killing me! :'( 14 miles and four hours later, at four in the morning, I got a lift for the last 2 miles from a couple of fishermen heading north. They apologised for being late, but they'd had a rest at Southwaite, otherwise they'd have been there a couple of hours earlier! ;D


Can you all post pics  ;D ;D ;D
