What a month!!

Hi All!

What a month I have had!! It's been full of vintage fun!

September kicked off with Penny's Lane's second vintage fair, this time at The Brewery Store in Faversham. What a FAB venue! It was full to the brim with vintage treasures and vintage cars. The yummy cakes were being eaten and the tea was flowing and we had the pleasure of being serenaded by the wonderful Wayward Sisters.We even got mentioned on the radio!

 

A week later I was off to The Antics Roadshow in the Chatham Dockside. We had lovely weather, thank god because the queue was HUGE, and outside! But what a great atmosphere!I went with my Marge and Parge (Mum and Dad) and my friends and we all got something valued. Unfortunately, none of us are worth any more than originally thought. But Parge did get on the T.V!

Then it was off to Salute To The 40's! It was a wonderful afternoon. My boyfriend Stefan and I took his Nan Brenda with us and we loved it! There was lots going on and something for everyone. There were vintage vehicles, vintage clothes, live music and comedy sets and they had also recreated many different sets from the 40's, including a butchers, a post office and a wartime bunker. It was like stepping back into wartime Britain! We sat and had a nice cup of tea and enjoyed the atmosphere. 

The best and funniest part of the day was when they reconstructed an air rade. The three of us were just walking along, minding our own business and suddenly the siren was going off! It made us all jump and we all had a good giggle about it but then...... An old fire enguine came speeding round the corner, there was shouting and gun fire and bombing noises! I nearly DIED!! I jumped out of my skin and all I could think of was the stories that Brenda has told me about. They used to have to find cover if they were outside and nowhere near a bunker, so I was looking for the nearest brush, much to the ammusment of Stefan and Brenda. My next thought was 'OMG Brenda! She is probably terrified', but oh no, she found it hillarious! She was laughing with the old man standing next to her (The flirt!), After I calmed down and pulled myself together, and managed to stop the other two laughing, I realised that I would have been useless in the war!

My next treat was a night out with my other half  to a Burlesque show. It was amazing! We were both Burlesque virgins and really enjoyed ourselves. It was a mix of dancing, singing, magic and clothes removing. There was even a drag queen. Heaven! Stefan even managed to embarrass me when at then end of the evening at the meet and greet, he made me ask one of the burlesque dancers where she got her knickers from. Ebay ladies, Ebay!

So that was my vintage filled month! Vintage, antics, bombing and knickers!! What more could a girl need?!?
