#7 Got the film back!

Sorry it's taken so long, but I haven't had a chance to take my film into Boots for a week. Here are the shots from our fun fashion parade. The oldies loved it. Shame David Bailey wasn't on hand to do the shoot! These ones turned out rather well! It's such a long process;waiting a week for a film to be developed. Some clever chap should invent a camera that let's you see the images straight away so you can toss them if they're no good. We went through rolls and rolls of film. Anyways...these are my favorites. Until later....ciao.


Amazing how far technology has come. From old film roles to instant uploading of photos to your pc. Now back in the the day we had polaroid instant cameras, but NOTHING like today's capabilities. I have to say though, I do miss flicking through photo albums, even if digital storage takes up a lot less shelf space. We used to have slide nights, where everyone would gather round with finger food and drinks. It was a party! Now we email photos to each other, and talk less. We don't talk to each other as much, we type to each other! H

#5 Week whatever and photo fun

1964
I'm so excited! To cheer up Susie's 'ol gran who's just been put in an old people's home we're putting on a fashion show for their entertainment. We get to show off our latest threads from Carnaby Street.

2007
I dug out some old photographs last night of my friends and I way back when. We had so much fun putting on a fashion show for the local retirement home in Camden Town. This is Susie, Judy and I. Weren't we the most! I remember it like it was yesterday. Thank goodness for technolgy - I was able to scan the photos and upload them to flickr so they can be preserved forever. They were beginning to fade, but with a bit of photoshopping I was able to restore some colour. And check out that bagde! Technology hey - amazing what one can do these days!

Another day another bill paid

September, 1964
Toast is burnt, tea's gone cold and there's a run in my stockings! My white patent leather boots will cover that. It's raining out, again. I almost trip down the stairs as I grab my mac and brolly and head off to work, late as usual....

I work for Honey magazine - this is the latest issue.


September, 2007

It's drizzling outside, a gray dull day, but that shouldn't distract me from today's deadline. I need that article posted by three o'clock. A cup of tea, some toast as I settle down to work at my Mac...

These days I freelance, and from time to time I get my short stories published. Mostly I self-publish.

#3 & 4 Welcome to Harriet's way

Finally, a place to exercise my inner curmudgeon! Stay tuned crazy kids... we're in for a swinging time!
