Travelling Back In Time

For some reason or other, I've not taken any photos this week, and I'm having withdrawal symptoms. There are several things going on this weekend, so hopefully my OMD will see some action again.

So here's a shot from last weeks visit to Bingham. We spotted this guy dressed up in period costume walking down one of the main roads. Gail politely asked him if he would mind having his photo taken.

While he was posing, he explained that Bingham was having a week long festival to celebrate their market which is several hundred years old.

Serenity

Here's a shot from Bingham's churchyard.  Whenever I go to a  different place, I always like to have a look around their graveyard.

It's not morbid curiosity, but am interested in looking at gravestones; to see the names of the departed, when they died and to look for unusual designs and statues.

Being a former village, Bingham's churchyard is quite small, but there are lots of trees and greenery in it. And as yesterday was really sunny, there's plenty of dappled light coming through.

All Shook Up

So everyone thought that Elvis died in 1977. How wrong they were, as I found out today that he is happily living in Bingham and working as a barber.

I hope he is a good one too, and that the men that go in aren't all shook up with the styles that they end up with, and that Elvis isn't too annoyed if he gets any hair on his blue shade shoes.

I wonder if he owns a hound dog?
