No idea, but is there something hanging on the telephone wire in the background?
 
Hmm, I'm not sure who that could be, but I'm sure I'll find out one way or another.
 
You say heart of glass I don't know if your making a Blondie reference but it kinda looks like Debbie Harry from Blondie if you are making the reference.

"If anyone finds out, call me?
"Isn't she that girl that was on the news that had a heart of glass? ;)"

You didn't get it by then?
 
Just come across this video, thought some of you might find it interesting! :)

I love that top photo of Big Dipper. Shows just how remote and on the beach PBB used to actually be. I've seen the photos through the years as it developed and it's fascinating. Going from such a bare and exposed scattering of rides to what we have today.
