London Cafeterias 50s – 60s

I'm off to London next week and would love to drop into one of these swinging cafes but I worry that I might not fit in because "a square in the wrong hole is just not dug".

RIP Auntie Sheila

You may not hear from me much over the next week or so. I'm getting ready to head off to Montreal to say goodbye to my dear Aunt Sheila who passed away early this morning. I will be remaining there for a bit to clear out her apartment and do all the paperwork necessary to settle the estate.
She was generous and funny and my strongest advocate when I was growing up. I'm going to miss her.
