Odd Socks

Like odd socks in the drawer these photos are friendless and alone in this world. They have gathered here in an act of solidarity, thrown together by need for company. Please be kind to odd socks everywhere.

"Hi, I started out in life wanting to be part

of a set of pictures.

.I've waited and waited but

no one's come along."

"I'm a little shy about speaking but

I think I can tell my story

with just my hands.

I'm just an old lady who loves wood."

"I'm new around here.

Wanted to be part of a brave new world but

I find myself in Cambridge, England

(of all places!)

And on a blog that's more interested in

fusty old churches."

"Post? Huh, you gotta be kidding!

There's been no post delivered here for years.

Every once in a while some joker

comes along and takes my photo,

Otherwise nothing."

"Summer grasses and grey skies looming.

I presume you've heard

my story before."

"J H Cooper & Son at your service,

in business for 100 years,

ever since Jabez Henry Cooper traded from 

his horse-drawn cart.

Old-fashioned honesty -

a rare commodity in the 

furniture trade."

"Hello, I'm Clare.

I drifted through University,

afloat on the river.

A reliable, fun-loving girl

with a good sense of humour!"

"Just an old church door.

Who would stop

to look at me?"

"Cottages, castles, cathedrals?

I could show you how 

people really live, baby"

"Hi, I started out in life wanting to be part

of a set of pictures.

I've waited and waited

but no one's come along.

So far"

Take care.
