We went into a coffee shop, and I went to the counter to order while Bob found a table. He sat near the window where there was a display of leaflets. The 'what's on in Norfolk' type of thing.
I ordered, paid, and went to sit down. And thought "Hang on, that's ME on that leaflet"
June last year, I went and helped at the annual Voluntary Norfolk event in The Forum in Norwich, trying to interest other people in volunteering. VN people all have bright pink teeshirts and red lanyards- unless they work with VN for the Community Health Trust, in which case they have plum coloured polo shirts and blue lanyards. And there I am, right in the middle - looking like I am in the wrong uniform. Well fancy that!
Maybe you could get a photo of you holding that photo of you holding the leaflet.
ReplyDeleteI believe that's called "The Droste Effect" after the design of the labels on Dutch Cocoa packets...
DeleteI love a paradox!

DeleteThat picture was also in the EDP a few weeks ago when they wrote about volunteers. I was going to tell you but then assumed you would know. I spotted you! Rachel
ReplyDeleteThank you Rachel, I don't take the EDP regularly, so I missed that!
DeletePlay Power exhibition at the Sainsbury Centre until Oct 4, the importance of play to children and adults, will interest you I am sure. Rachel x

DeleteMaybe you could tell people that you are in a different colour because you are the leader!
ReplyDeleteNo, just the senior!!
DeleteYou are our very own supermodel! And no doubt did not get thousands of pounds for getting out of bed that day. Nicky K
ReplyDeleteVN did pay for my car park ticket!
DeleteHow neat is that?!

DeleteWhat a lovely moment, to spot yourself on a leaflet for such a good cause. Happily it's a good photo of you too.
ReplyDeleteAt least I have a reasonable expression 🙂
DeleteHaha, it’s so good you found the leaflet!
ReplyDelete🙂
DeleteThat's very cool! I'm glad your fame is recognised at last!
ReplyDeleteIt's not quite the same but I remember turning up to the Redbridge Show in the year 2001 and suddenly hearing a piece I had written, which had been published, being played by the oboe club in the education marquee. I wrote it for 2 flutes and harp. It was being played by 20 oboes!!! 😁
Wow! Did you get royalties?
