Cross Currents


Balconies


Killer Kitten


Mike'll Sink It
This is in our 15th-century stude digs in faversham. Seeing as that's Calli's arm, this will be the fourth iteration of
room-mates, spring and summer terms of 1972. The others below also from then

Since I'm in it, rocking the odd socks/no shirt combo, presumably taken by the fifth member of the troupe, Mr Pike

Tomorrow, family memories and the Trip Room

[Rayge]

Today in Part One, Prints from a Scattered Past, content not quite as promised, as I'm saving up the Trip Room photos
for a bit of a splash later. But there's still the family history...
Part Two continues with April in Sandford this year.

Hurrah for the Red White and Blue

home of Bath race-course
