Springsong Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I found the book fascinating, the diary of a man going slowly insane pursued by his own demons. A truly tragic account. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizG Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Don't ever say I forgot, but it was more to the point, that I lost the photos again. Having seen Carol's scans, I really don't think I should post these pictures but I will - but do remember it was 50 years ago or so and I was only using a Box Brownie....... I did look in Carol's pictures to see whether I could be seen but don't think so! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdnamsGirl Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Brilliant - thank you for those Liz. It's always interesting to see things from a different perspective and your photos aren't bad at all. I still find it amazing that you were at the same launch. It's a small world Carol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
