Swinging Sixties

I have just seen two great films in two days (I like to cram a month's worth of culture into 24 hours: it's the mother's equivalent of a drinking binge): An Education (screenplay by Nick Hornby) and A Single Man (by Tom Ford, with the lovely Colin Firth).

As I emerge from this dazzling cultural bubble, I realise that I have a new, overwhelming ambition. It is not one of my more realistic ambitions, but I know it would make me happy:
I want to live in the 1960s.
Preferably in America, but London would do. I'm not fussy.

Now all I have to do is fine-tune the plans for my time-travelling machine...
