Do you begin and end your day with the world framed by a window or windscreen? Maybe it’s your own or perhaps it is the fingerprint smeared one of the bus or train. Do you run? Or cycle? Do you stare ahead, focussed on the point of horizon, enjoying the sensation of the landmarks flying past you? Or do you walk? Head dead ahead. Music sounding. Telephone chattering. Daydreaming.

Have you walked or driven the same route for as long as you can remember? Have you one day, for whatever reason, looked up and seen something that surprised you? A building above a shop perhaps? A blue plaque? A piece of graffiti impossibly high up? A flag. This blog is about what you can see when you tilt your chin and see a different view of your everyday world.

Look up.

You might enjoy it.

You might see something good.

'Just make your way down to The Crown & Anchor'



I noticed this this pub mainly because it reminded me of the Small Faces song Rene which sings about a pub bearing the same name. Whilst smiling at the notion of Rene entertaining her 'dockers' in such a place I saw the pretty smart looking sign above it. I love when buildings have the date they were built on them, it always makes me appreciate how long they have stood there and makes me think of how much has changed between its last brick being laid and the world today.
