Old Tins

My previous owl family will not be accompanying us with our journey to the North, starting very soon.
A morning coffee in our favourite cafe allowed me this shot - so many iconic tins in our history which probably are British based.

Three good things;
1. Taking time over coffee and smiles with strangers.
2. Stocking the motorhome took thought but the computers on board let us know how much water was in the tanks.
3. Love the Ice Skating on TV - Olympic Winter Games! Like - once you can skate - you can fly! And dance!

Have a good trip. Looking forward to the pics.

A nice collection of old tins. I've been watching some of the Olympics too - great viewing.

[Taffy]

Quite a collection -- safe travels!

[Bep]

Nice collection. There is a tin museum not far away from where we live, with a collection of about 2000 old tins. Wonderful.
Have a nice trip.

Yes you can fly on skates but I've never tried! A trip north, good to go on that lovely ferry! Will you be up north at end of May / June? I like this clear sharp photo of the shelves of tins.

[Helen Jane]

You are always on the move! That is certainly an interesting collection of tins.

[Lou Ann]

I just wish I had kept the log cabin syrup tins from my childhood! Ha. Have fun on your journey!

[Dixie Goode]

Have a wonderful trip. My fav coffee shop had a similar display, but of baskets instead of tins. Funny how many memories there can be in simple containers

[Maggiemae]

@happypat Probably be back home end of April, Pat.

[Phil Howcroft]

they look great but not too secure :)

[Beryl Lloyd]

A lovely collection of old tins and a nice talking point - although I have never been lost for words !! So its off again Maggie -- have a lovely time and a safe journey !

[Anita Campbell]

That is an interesting collection. Wonder how many there are..

[gloria jones]

Great shot of that display of tins...#3 Indeed.

[Babs]

I'd love to look at these tins more closely. I have a collection of old tins. They are so interesting and have a great history.

[Maggiemae]

@onewing You would need a ladder to look at these! Imagine the dusting!

[Dinah Pinkston]

This is a very nice collection of tins; it looks quite interesting. The people sitting below them seem to be having a nice time!

[Casablanca]

Loving the tins! What a super composition.

[Sarah]

Really interesting. I have just done a jigsaw of old branded tins

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Lovely collection of old tines - every shape an size.

Travel safe and enjoy your trip.

[K1W1]

Great collection of old tins. I don't see he old golden syrup can. We used to get that in 5 pound tins :) Wonder what the two gentlemen are chatting about

[Maggiemae]

@k1w1 @dsp2 Thanks for your comments, ladies! I was pleasantly surprised in this cafe - everybody was so animated talking to each other and I didn't see one phone!

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Liana Bull]

A very cool tin collection - off travelling again I see - have fun.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

My sister used to collect tins and had them displayed in her kitchen in a similar way. I still have a few of my own but they are being used for things. Glad you're stocked and ready to go- safe travels!

Such a fascinating subject and composed nicely to show the gentleman enjoying their morning coffee
