Red Snapper

Behold! Lady Amanda "Snapper" Kendal.

Lady Kendal is shortly to embark on a photographic expedition to France with her long-time companion and world-renowned botanist and political philosopher Sir Anthony Fforbes Pontefract Desiderata Humongous Braisby - or "Bud" to his friends - but more of him another time.

Here Lady Kendal can be seen modelling her continental look, while holding forth on her admiration for the denizens of France who, she says "have so stoutly defended the freedom to smoke and enjoy alcohol in their native land". She hopes to rouse the good people there to lead a revolution in this country for the restoration of the right to inhale at whim. For she is also a "Socialist".

Being a gifted linguist, she intends to recruit them using her powers of oratory. Her opening salvo, she assured the gathered club members, will be,"Survenez vous cheese-mangeant des singes de capitulation et une sortie en avant avec moi et mon Tony pour défendre la liberté du fait de gonfler ses poumons dans un type d'insurrection la voie. Craignez vous pas que les forces d'oppression peuvent tomber sur vous durement, mais nous apporter plutôt vos bérets, votre ail, vos sucreries et vos désirs gaulois, pour l'amour de liberté est notre maître et maîtresse. Poussée en avant vos seins à-raies-jumpered. En avant! La lutte continue!*"

A fearless pornographer, er sorry, photographer, she can often be seen striding the streets of London, her frequently-buffed Brownie on open display for all to admire.

I wish her a safe return and look forward to most of my weekends thereafter until Xmas disappearing in lengthy slide shows of her many and wild exploits.

*Arise ye cheese-eating surrender monkeys and sally forth with me and my Tony to defend the freedom of puffing out one's lungs in an uprising-type way. Fear ye not that the forces of oppression may fall upon thee hard, but rather bring us your berets, your garlic, your sweetmeats, and your Gallic desires, for love of liberty is our master and mistress. Thrust forward your stripy-jumpered breasts. Onward! The struggle continues!
