Cafe, Cars and Modern life

Well I cannot believe how long it's been since my last post (about a week and a half!) too long I know but it's mainly been because of my time being occupied by going to view and purchase a car - which is far more time consuming than one thinks and the other by getting enrolled for my final year of my photographic studies - once again far more time consuming than needs be. Anyway between this all,  last weekend I discovered a new espresso bar in Cardiff city centre - now I am usually oppose any "Mall or Store" cafes, but the one in John Lewis has such great views above the streets below and interesting triangle design with floor to ceiling windows I have to give the thumbs up and plus they make really good coffee and tasty meals like the tomato bruschetta I demolished and the goats cheese and beetroot salad - yum yum!

 So anyway back to the car dilemma, I love love love vintage/retro cars. I used to have a 1982 mini which never let me down, always started first time and who I miss dearly. Before that, when I was living in Cape Town I drove a 1978 beetle - what a fun car to drive and I hey I don't mind the noise it makes. So it's disappointing that I had to settle for a Nissan Sunny - although hopefully this is just a temporary car until the funds allow another mini. Oh and how I do wish I could drive through the streets of Paris in a fiat 500 or a convertible with the wind in my hair listening to dream french tunes and flowers in my hair...hmmm.But it made me think of Europe and it's cars and the fashion at the time. 

So I am getting some photos developed soon and lots more little tales and adventures and such to post - yey, free time is a virtue :)
