We visited my favourite photocopy shop in the area on Monday. Jackie, unlike the grumpy chap on lordship lane actually trusts me to do my own photocopying. thanks Jackie, it means a lot. Anyway, I like Jackie, she's friendly and always a great source of blog knowledge. This particular visit revealed that the art work outside (see pic up there) is part of the Council's regeneration for the area. I like it. Apparently it's trying to create a nostalgic image of kids to encourage community's to come together.
Jackie went on to discuss the road bollards (another part of the regeneration). She wasn't fussed, as each one apparently costs 2 big fat G's, and they look a bit mucky. I like them, mainly because they look a bit mucky....
I think Kirst agrees that they look mucky (sorry Kirst! I'll take the picture down if you want me to)
Anyway, back to Jackie...
Whilst in the shop I noticed this picture. Jackie explained that most afro carribean households have a pic of their grandad like this. originally black and white photo's were coloured by hand. Brilliant, bright and colourful. Thanks to Jackie for all the local knowledge. Nice Squoval Nails Lady!
