This post was written after a night out in the ‘Ye Olde Fisherman’s Arms‘ in Looe last Saturday… ;-)

Many years ago I sat in a cosy little restaurant in northern France.

It was a dimly lit room with a few scattered tables covered in green tablecloths and silk flowers. Your average café in a quiet town in France!

Strip lights glared relentlessly down and I remained hidden from the outside world by ancient yellowing net curtains and an assortment of dying pot plants. I was safe, nobody knew who I was.

As I enjoyed my meal, I can’t remember what it was now, I got talking to the couple on the next table. It was a polite but humorous conversation about life, travelling and French cuisine. If you’ve ever been travelling, you’ll know what I mean.

The conversation eventually came round to the inevitable ‘What do you do?’ and I said ‘Why don’t you guess’? This led to a 10 second silence before the woman in the couple said ‘I think you’re a graphic designer’! » Click here to read the rest of this article

The Looe Fancy Dress party last night was as crazy, exciting and lively as ever I’ve seen before.

Below are 97 photos of people in Looe that were gracious enough to let me take their photos. Thank you and I hope you enjoy them.

The 2011 fireworks photos are below the fancy dress pictures – don’t miss them :-)

Spread the word

As always, please tell everyone about the photos and link to the Fancy Dress gallery page from your blogs and websites.

Happy New Year everyone. Hope to see you again in 2012.

Looe New Year’s Eve 2011 fireworks display was a cracker.
