The Prettiest Boy In Da 'Hood

I'm stuffed full of catarrh and haven't been out of the house since Wednesday, when I had an osteopath appointment in Brum.

Sadly, the one other thing I bought back with me other than a big red folder for my Holiday Grand Plan, (thank you Tcakes for alerting me to this), was a stinking cold that has given me a big red nose!!

 

Yeah, I am feeling very sorry for myself!

 

So, I am treating myself to some eye candy!

the gorgeous Micheal Praed

Y'see, Robin in Nottingham was not the first Robin I had met!

Mr B had covered on the tour of Copacabana years back and when it came to Southampton, we had the opportunity to see the show together and we walked back to the railway station with Micheal, chatting away as tho' we'd been mates for life.

He was lovely and a gent. 

 

And, following on from the previous knitting post...how do you combine knitting with Robin Hood?

 

 

With vintage Robinoid needles, of course!

knobfast???????

 Lovely red plastic needles sadly a tad too big to knit my socks on.

 

again...knobfast????

But they look great don't they?

My 'Bloody Brigadoon' Moment

At a guess, most of you would have seen "Four Weddings and a Funeral"?

And you remember the bit at the Scottish wedding, where Simon Callow arrives in the room where everyone is dressed in tartan and dancing Scottish reels?

Well, I had 'that' moment the last night we were in Nottingham. Can you guess where I'm going?

Sitting in The Cross Keys, a very old pub, eating our very yummy dinner when who walks in but Robin Hood!

 

 It's Robin Hood, bloody Robin Hood!

(and a German camera crew) 



Yes, it's Robin Hood, just having a pint of ale

I nearly choked on my crayfish and avocado salad!

 

 

All tooled up and ready to go...

 

 

...robbing from the rich, to give to the poor 

  

All together now, you know what's coming...couldn't get this theme tune out of my head!
One of my greatest childhood programmes.
