21/07/2009 (Day 3.202) - It Was Forty Years Ago Today

Newly released pictures show that the whole thing may have been a hoax. Something to do with shadows, apparently :-)

 

The Apollo 11 landings are my first coherent memory - one on which I can pin a date - so I thought that some kind of tribute was the only way to go on this, the fortieth anniversary. I was five, and was on holiday in St Andrews, Scotland, with my family. Apparently I didn't see the landings live, as I was tucked up in bed asleep, but I remember watching the repeats the next day.

 

A year ago today I was in the pink.
