From the top of the down, we watched as the sun set into the mist covering the land, until just above the horizon, it disappeared from view.
All in all, it was worth heading out to snap it. Back in time to watch TOTP from 1980. As you do.
this is a Lego Classic Space one-man spaceship from 1978. a bit blurred as I was in a hurry and the light was poor.
A Product of Pickwick International. These were rerecorded versions of chart toppers, at the time when some of the chart material was worth listening to. One of them has a Lynsey de Paul number that is better than the original IMHO.
still dont ask....

The BBC's flagship music show, Top of the Pops, has been going since
day and maybe even before that. So it was only a matter of time before new,
younger, more virile pretenders to the youth throne came along and edged it
out of contention.Who can amongst up can remember back on sunny New
Year's Day in1964 when Golden Man Jimmy 'Now Then Now Then' Saville
presented the first broadcast. RWD look back into yesteryear as if it was
only yesterday we saw the Beatles, Rolling Stones and dusty Dusty
Springfield on our black and white tube in the den. Come to think of it,
what was the point in dodging the TV licence fees if it wasn't to enjoy and
rejoice in our weekly fix of musical enlightenment? Now almost 50 years
later following a few logo, decal and producer changes, the British
Broadcasting Corp. have decided to axe the great show.That's right. All
the re-branding in the world couldn't save TOTP - Who'd been battling
against 24 hour music channels ever since the smart guys who invented cable
came to our streets. The top Top of the Pops for us was when a
young Lethal Bizzle and More Fire Crew (with matching Iceberg cardies)
showed the world all about the UK underground or the episode when all 500
members of So Solid Crew had 21 Seconds to go. Alas, this is not the last of
the Pops, Roly Keating (Controller of BBC TWO) stated, "The end of the
weekly show does not mark the total disappearance of the Top of the
Pops brand from British television screens. It will continue to feature
in programmes such as TOTP2, BBC TWO's archive show based on the
Top of the Pops back-catalogue which will sometimes incorporate new
performance, as well as one-off specials."Expect the last show on
Sunday July 30th to have a host of poptastic talent from the nations'
favourites. and Lily Allen.

This is very weird for me, I usually never upload out of order. I have to upload everything by when it was taken but today I decided to upload just two photos that I have taken recently.
These two are Jared & Hannah. Jared, plays guitar in TOTP. Right after I was done with my shoot with them, i took a quick shot of him and his girlfriend. Looking good!
