California Days

               California afternoon with Bertrand & the stylish men of Acres

Recently I came across this photo and thought where are they?

We abide by strict banker's hours

9:15. - 5:00

  Midday lunch time

 Frank Cotton arrives first, for he just lives over the bridge in San Pedro

Parking just outside The Park Pantry facing Cherry Park.

 One by one the team arrive signaling recognition with the usual slow wave.

                               

                              The conversation so familiar you don't feel you are eavesdropping.

                                                                     London was the topic :                                                                                      

Frank's going of course & which shops were expecting their arrival;
