Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside…

Everyone delights to spend their summer’s holiday

Down beside the side of the silvery sea

I’m no exception to the rule

In fact, if I’d my way

I’d reside by the side of the silvery sea

But when you’re just the common or garden Smith or Jones or Brown

At bus’ness up in town

You’ve got to settle down

You save up all the money you can till summer comes around

Then away you go

To a spot you know

Where the cockle shells are found

Oh! I do like to be beside the seaside

I do like to be beside the sea!

Polaroid Effect

Been playing around a bit on Picnik, which is a great online photo editing site, and I really love Polaroids, so I started playing around with this effect, and I really like it…what do you think? I would love an old Polaroid camera – I got one from a charity shop a while back, but it didn’t work anymore, which was a real shame. The other thing to take into account is the cost of the film. I researched it a while back, and I found a company who were trying to reproduce the film again, but think the project didn’t go ahead in the end. Do you know of any good companies that sell polaroid film? Film that hasn’t expired! Anyway, hope you enjoyed my little edits

Hey Baby
