AH PARIS...

                      World © Geoff Wilkinson - All rights reserved


I know some of you are great fans of Paris, I do not know whether any Parisian's follow this blog but I like to think that amongst the French readers some do. Whenever I see tables and chairs outside a cafe or restaurant I always think of sipping wine overlooking a busy Paris street. Anyway back to the real world,  this photograph was taken in Leytonstone and the tables and chairs are outside the excellent Olive Branch restaurant opposite the station. On a sunny day or a warm evening however and a little imagination you could be anywhere.

SIR ALFRED HITCHCOCK...

You are probably wondering what this photograph has to do with film maker Sir  Alfred Hitchcock. Well he was the master of the dramatic moment and when I saw these clouds over this service station in Leytonstone High Road I thought they looked full of drama as well. Still not sure of the connection? Well Alfred Hitchcock was born on August 13th 1899 in a house more or less on this spot. Next time you stop for petrol here check out the plaque on the wall.
