Got out with the Hasselblad for a bit today, some beautiful fog in the hills!

LECTURE 6: MEET THE BEATLES (PART 1): Here is a brief mini-documentary about Mendips (251 Menlove Avenue, Liverpool), where Aunt Mimi (Mimi Smith) and her husband, George, raised John Lennon from age 5 to when he moved out eighteen years later, at age 23 (George passed away on June 5, 1955). Along with 20 Forthlin Road (Paul’s childhood home), Mendips is owned by the National Trust, a preservation group that restores and protects historic places. The Trust has preserved Mendips beautifully over the years, capturing its exact look from when John lived there.
