Soho Sal

We're off en famille to our fave Wetherspoons the Penderel's Oak this afternoon - Our Sal's in town! She and John-John went to see Abba - Voyage (his treat for her birthday, which is next month), and this gathering is to see her off before she heads back up north to Newcastle.

Holborn's hardly Soho, but I never need an excuse to feature a little nostalgic wallow into that bustling heart of our great city - courtesy of the ever-faboo Soft Tempo Lounge:

Sublime.

  1. Swinging Londres à la go go 1960’s :)
    Mes parents ont visité Londres en 1968, après avoir économisé de l’argent en travaillant à l’Expo 67 à Montréal.
    Ce que mère préférait, c’était faire du shopping sur Carnaby Street, et pour père voler à bord d’un avion de ligne BOAC VC-10 : ne plus ultra du shopping et du vol.

  2. Isn’t it amazing how that guy got a parking spot right in front of the door! Do you think he realized he threw his coat on the floor? And what a jerk! Anyway, I love that cartoon!

    1. He did come across as a bit of a prat (and yes, I noticed that his coat dropped onto the floor), but the music was good! Jx
