Are you on the bus? *

I especially love the blue one...

Lately I have been getting in touch with my inner hippie. I have been scrolling through Etsy's vintage shops for far too long looking for maxi dresses, patchwork skirts and flowing handknits. Perhaps it has something to do with identifying with the era I was born in or maybe it is just listening to too much Judy Collins at the moment? Or maybe the clips of Life on Mars I have been enjoying all over again on You Tube? Whatever the case, the advice to tune in, drop out and turn on can never be bad advice for a stress monkey like me!

Do you remember the 70s? Or the 60s? Or perhaps you're just a hippie at heart?

* The American writer Ken Kesey, in relation to the 1960s Counterculture, said "Now, you're either on the bus or off the bus. If you're on the bus, and you get left behind, then you'll find it again. If you're off the bus in the first place — then it won't make a damn."

Ashes to Ashes

Excitements! I have just learnt while casually flicking on the telly during my lunch break that the sequel to "Life on Mars", "Ashes to Ashes", has finally made it to Antipodean tv screens! Next Monday it begins! Yay! If you're reading this in the UK, please don't scoff in a smug fashion and tell me what happens. And the same goes for those of you in the US, by the look of this clip. The point is, it came to us eventually, and this little time travel buff is very happy :)

PS I have just realised that today's blog title oddly matches yesterday's...
