Back In The Day


 Does anyone else remember having one of these? I picked it up last week from one of my local chazza shops (Op Shop for my international chums). It cost £3.00. I love it, because it is hand made, is of it's time and also because I had a similar one when I was in my early 20s. 

I was lucky enough to visit a few Greek Islands before the tourism boom and I can't tell you how arty and bohemian I felt with a bag like this casually (of course), slung over my shoulder. Sadly these same Greek Islands are wall to wall hotels now. oh my.

Anyway blogging chums, as I type my son is on his way over to house sit, whilst I venture forth to the freezing North. I'm off to Tromso in Norway in pursuit of the magical northern lights. I will make an effort to take some pics so I can show you all when I'm back.
