Online not phone line

I knew this blog would have to be dragged into the new millennium at some point. Today is the day. We took Couscous out for a walk at Allhallows, on the Thames just up from Gravesend. Instead of a ‘Phone’ box there was an ‘Internet’ box.

We recently spent a month in Australia, returning via Singapore and narrowly missing out on Qantas industrial action. We spent some time in Tasmania as evidenced by…

Here’s a recent one from our little jaunt to the Cotswolds. This was opposite our B&B in Crudwell.

San Francisco

My first reader’s contribution. Thanks Ian.

“Here is my picture of a San Francisco phone booth! While walking by I found it strangely compelling – with it’s shiny case and slot for quarters, so I took a pic. I had just seen the movie “Bullitt”, with Steve McQueen, where the hero makes many phone calls in exactly this type of phone booth…This particular phone was located in the Serramonte Shopping Mall, Daly City, South San Francisco on 28th Dec 2010. I was out shopping for lego :-)”

I tried to find one from the remaining collection that has snow in it, to go with the current feel outside. No luck. Here are a couple to give me warm thoughts (much needed right now) instead:
