The 60's and 70's

I am steadily gathering a collection of photos of my parents from the 60's and 70's. I am hoarding their memories and trying to decipher the mystery of who these people were before we all came screaming into their lives and changed everything.  Photographs looked better in the 70's, this one was taken in London, it is the top of the Victoria Memorial outside Buckingham Palace.

'I really loved Hackney and East London. I was living there with my friend Bec who bought me the pin along with a matching T shirt. At the time everyone in London had taken to wearing the iconic 'I heart New York' tees and this was my tongue-in-cheek response. Hackney was rough, gritty, dirty but full of the best people and it holds a special place in my heart. London gives you a freedom to become whoever you want to be, a freedom that you don't find so easily elsewhere. The pin reminds me of my years in london and all it gave me'
