Following

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.

My Goodness My Guinness



I love this old advert for Guinness above a pretty chavvy looking pub in Colchester. My boyfriend and I are looking for a place to live around that area and although I love this vintage sign- I cant see myself drinking here anytime soon! I'm not sure if the clock that tops it all off is part of the sign or has just been whacked on to complete this pyramid of circles. Either way I like it. Guinness O'Clock!

Bath Time



My camera hates the dark- which is a shame as this sign looks awesome all lit up at night time. I walk past the baths on my way to work and love this retro sign. I still haven't been inside yet but I hope it is as cool as I imagine it to be.
