Wednesday


Barbara Miura
by John French (1953)


We stood at the print machine
in the busy V&A bookshop
trying to select fashion photographs
and MissM said
"I must have this one of Barbara Miura"
and the woman behind us said
"She was my mother"

It could only happen to Miss M! Those were the days - sighs. I am now wallowing in nostalgia. Bobby x
