Love the music,love the style,the swinging sixties.

Most of all it was a time when people had money to spend,a time of freedom,and exotic pets.

It was a renaissance of art,music,fashion,and physcodelic color,and exotic pets.Harrods was a classy place to shop,you could buy or order anything in Harrods even an elephant.

There were up and coming authors,movies, like Easy rider,Breakfast at Tiffanys.It was a time of optimism.

Last week John Rendell died and many of his photos of Christian the lion were sold.Christian the lion is a winderful tru story.

When shopping in Harrods…

John and his partner Antony Ace Bourke fell in love with a lion cub called Christian.Christian was born in captivity.They took him home.He lived in their apartment,until he outgrew it and moved into the basement of their shop in the Kings road.He exercised in a public garden,and could be seen riding in their car or walking on a leash.Gradually Christian outgrew London and Virginia McKenna offered him a hone in the countryside,but he outgrew that too the only option was to try to introduce Christian into a National park in Kenya.Virginia McKenna was in a movie called ‘Born Free’ about a lion cub called Elsa who was successfully introduced into the wild the story of George Adamson the only man who lived with and understood lions.Christian the lion is the story of a tame lion and his transition to leadership of a wild pride of lions.p in Kenya,A lion whomhad had his own bed with a pillow when camping,

Large cats are incredibly beautiful,Ive always loved them!especially white tigers which are rare,one is born every hundred years.Panthers are graceful too.A Safari in Africa would be an exciting venture.Perhaps one day.So the theme is lions,tigers panthers,exotic pets,and music artists,musicians from the sixties.Exotic pets you may have had.
