Caravans as flags


I can honestly say (to the best of my knowledge) I've never knowingly taken a photograph of a caravan before. Which is why I can testify right here, right now - may God strike me down now - that this will not be the start of a regular feature; or even an irregular feature. When I stumbled upon this rather jazzy wagon this afternoon it did kinda put me in mind of a flag; which led me to think that there may well be other examples of mobile homes out there resembling nations' ensigns... 

...

I realise that this opening salvo may not be the most auspicious of starts to a New Year, but in keeping with a very quiet Christmas and an even quieter birthday, this is, for now anyway, how it crumbles, cookie wise. Bear with me, I'll hit my stride again before too long. You just see if I don't.

  1. I get the feeling you may have watched the Apartment over the holidays. It is, kind of, a Christmas movie.

    1. B - Funnily enough I didn't watch it this year, but it is one of my favourite movies. Jack Lemmon can do no wrong in my eyes.

  2. Damn. I thought perhaps I'd missed your birthday. Belated greetings old chap. The first round's on me, as soon as this bloody war is over.

    1. TS - Move along, nothing to see here. Covid birthdays don't count: it's official.

      You're on!

  3. Now that is a lovely caravan! Love the subtle touch of the yellow, red and blue ellipsis in your post too.
    You've just had me searching for what flag that could possibly be and I found this

    Seems we're back on a German theme!

    A belated happy non-birthday to you to go with the non-Christmas. A cue for double celebrations this year hopefully?!

    1. Thank you, C! I missed that one, but still ended up in Germany - Emden in Lower Saxony.

  4. Definitely would liven up campsites having them liveried in their countries flag. Yes, cute and very fitting ellipsis.

    As for the birthday, yes indeed, none of us with landmark birthdays since last March have really celebrated them so they just haven’t happened yet. Fine by me.

  5. Happy new year John. I think this has definitely got legs as an irregular feature.

    I once tried to start a regular series on Twitter of punks on bikes following posting a pic of Mick Jones on a bike. I've havent got to number 2 yet.
