336/366 Down My Street

Our one shot challenge for our City & Guilds course this week is “Down My Street”…I set it and am now struggling to come up with something interesting (although I do have a possible plan ;-)). So I popped out tonight and grabbed this shot. Unusually for me there is

335/366 (More Than) 5 bottles of Shampoo

Tonight’s photo has been in my head for some time and was inspired by The King Blues track 5 Bottles of Shampoo, which you can listen to below. There has always been a lot of shampoo by our bath and those of you who know me will know that it
