It's Like Piccadilly Circus in my Back Garden

 


Why?
Because this weekend I built a scale replica of Piccadilly Circus in my back garden.  A Man needs a hobby.

Obviously it wasn't a full sized replica. It's only 75% scale.

NB: I was trying to figure out the date of this undated, uncommented slide. The location was easy, but the date... well, I think that film advert is for something featuring Spencer Tracy and ??? Sinatra. So, that would be The Devil At 4 O' Clock, from 1962.

The Supermodel of Horses.

 

This is Nebraska Annie.

In the 1970's, if you were buying equine-related products (whether oats, or saddles, or hoof polish), there was a fair chance that Nebraska Annie was the horse featured on the packaging.

Whether the promo image was of a bay, a white, or an-all black horse, there was a good chance that it was Annie under the hair colour. Annie was the Supermodel of Equine Advertising.

Sadly, after younger foals took the spotlight, Annie's fortunes faded. Badly.
