Links to ancient family films

Films of our family in 1960 right before and after Danny was born.  My parents had given Keir and me a movie camera for a wedding present.

Warning: these films are only interesting if you know Danny, Keir, Iain  or me or if you want to look at uninformative film of Notting Hill Gate c. 1960. Otherwise you’ll find them pretty boring.

Filmed in London and environs, on 8mm, a half century ago. All music is from some of the hit singles recorded by my uncle, Iain (then ‘Iain’) Gregory, produced by the legendary Joe Meek.”  (7:00)

About Leafages

"Credo" statement

Leafages by Hazel Kahan are made from real leaves, vines and tendrils interwoven with calligraphy, decorative pen and ink flourishes and imaginary Latin botanical names. Leafages contain a philosophical or inspirational thought, quotation or verse from sages, poets or religious texts. Some leafages are specially created for an individual, a couple or a family with words or leaves reflecting their personal narrative. They are available on the Leafages shop on Etsy although the supply is low right now, all my energies having been absorbed by the book I’ve been writing. Do come back soon when the shop will be full of new leafage abundance or contact me.
