Went to Barnes Fair on Saturday, and purchased a few goodies ...
This LP came with the original tour programme from 1988 - I was there at the Hammersmith Odeon - John Miles on vocals, Jimmy Page on guitar and a very young Jason Bonham on drums - when I saw them Robert Plant joined them for an encore of Rock N Roll ...
Also a rare UK copy of Trout Mask Replica ...
But the real find was a piece of taxidermy - a rather lovely Barn Owl ...
Beautiful plummage ...
Must be national owl week - this photo in the news this week is that of a owl crashing into a window in Kendal and leaving his imprint .
Back to Barney ...
Amanda's prize purchase was a knitted nativity scene ...
Christmas can't come too soon !
Post script
Visited the At Home in Japan exhibition at the Geffrye Museum in Shoreditch - models of all things Owl are placed near the front door where the Japanese take off their shoes and put on their slippers - the Owls repel any evils spirits brought in from the outside - now I know what to do with my new Barn Owl!
