Steve Strange - RIP

Happy memories.
People like this make me feel lucky I had my youth when I did.

 Steve Strange - 28 May 1959-12 February 2015

Apparently, my birth day twinnie, but just a year older.

A Vintage Kinda Gal

 Saturday was the Vintage Fair at St Matthews.
Lots of goodies bought, (that need photographing), friends caught up with and new ones made.
Sadly my 'twinnie' has a chest infection and wasn't able to make it but we've sent each other best wishes via Trevor!
At last, the perfect weather to wear my 'new' vintage Burberry that Mr B brought me from Scout in Sunderland.

as we call it, The Burberry Museum
Cannot believe that one was ever made large enough to fit me! The most brilliant thing for me is that, what some people would hate, the shorter sleeve, is the perfect 'bracelet length' for me and saves me having to roll back my sleeves, which I do with most of my jackets.
The yellow brolly I bought at TK Maxx, for a fiver, ages ago.

 My wonderful vintage poker print scarf was a giveaway win from Char, again, ages ago!
Isn't it fabulous?
My tiny little yellow flower head earrings I bought when I was a student, so that must make them even older than vintage!

The amazing 'H' the old Citroen van was a newcomer to the Fair and Mr B bought me the most apt gift from them...a cushion made from a vintage Bognor Regis and surrounding views T-towel. BR basically runs through my veins. I will do a post on that as an individual 'thing' as most of the views I have photographs of that I have taken in the past.

A large part of my life on a cushion, you could say.

Obligatory windswept hair shot

Just to remind me to get a trim and some new highlights done!

#BEDM rather fell by the wayside; just got totally disillusioned with posting anything last week.

BEDM - Day 6, Bank Holiday Fun

Saturday was the day of the Fair. There were a couple of showers, which was a bit of a shame, although it didn't seem to dampen the spirits. This was the first time that there were stalls outside on  the lawn, which was really good.
 
We got a garden urn for work for Mr B, a couple of large garden pots for me and a basket that both the cats have tried out!
 
 
After a wander round, refreshments were needed. A sit down and a natter with Trevor's mum, Margaret was in order. Trevor organises the "Vintage in the Shires" fairs.

We are 'twinnies' -  our birthdays are the same date, although not the same year, it has to be said!!

 
 
Sunday we went into town and got a new little greenhouse, seeing as I've filled up the other one and still have packets of seeds still to sow.
 
 
Dragged out the lilac jeans, Guess bag and Babycham trainers and added a T-shirt that Mr B brought back for me from Jewish Mother Backstage in Norfolk, VA. It was brilliant fun when he was away as we managed to set up to Skype while he was away and our conversation on his birthday was when he was at this deli.
 
 
Back here, we went into this lovely café for lunch. It has the original shaped, glass frontage, which looks out over these wonderful black and white shop fronts.
We finished off the evening with a Chinese takeaway.
 


Today we didn't get to the Car Boot this morning. But I did get to put up the greenhouse and sort out a load of old flowerpots and stuff to chuck out. I've also started taking down the bower as the metal frame is knackered and the passionflower has died, so it just needs a complete re-think and overhaul.
It's still a bit too much of a mess to take photos, buy no doubt some will follow.
 
Mr B is off on tour again Wednesday, so I need to sort out the washing for him to take and clear the top of the piano, so we can move it along, (in front of the wall that I papered last week), when he gets home,  and then I can do the rest of the wall while he is away. So, that's Tuesday organised.
 
Have a good week!

Spanish Week @ Pennyblossoms

Hola! from Euroblossoms!



Here we have another video from Mr B. Again, as with the swifty-swallows yesterday, this was filmed about 7 o'clock in the morning, after the crew had worked through the night!

I was a busy ZoZo today; had my hair cut at lunchtime, met Mr B for lunch, (he's on his summer break), and then had my Support Worker come and visit. Phew!

Off to Brum tomorrow, to see the osteopath. I missed an appointment cos' I couldn't get there and had to cancel a couple of appointments due to root canal tooth treatment, so am in dire need of a crunch! Mind you, Andrew specialises in Cranial Osteopathy, which is much gentler.

Another meeting with the SW on Thursday, doctors appointment Friday and then THIS

Still haven't download my photos from the Vintage Garden Party. I do believe that dear Margaret is probably still waiting to see her photo up 'in lights', so to speak. So...

...looking forward to seeing you on Saturday!
