Kenwood: sunroom - December, 1968.


It's been a truly dreadful fortnight, but life, apparently, trundles on, and with it this nonsense, I suppose. Which is possibly the gloomiest sentence I've ever typed.
Anyway. A splendid December '68 sunroom shot, found by Lizzie, and forwarded here.
Not sure who the others are, but the beardie looks quite Lennon-ish himself.

  1. Interesting to see the advert on the back cover of the magazine laying over Yoko. I didn't think cassette tapes made a real appearance until 1971.

    Just curious if you've ever heard from Julian or Cynthia about this topic. Kenwood probably wasn't the happiest place on earth for them.
