Ello one and all.
I had a quick wonder round my local village today in the rain before and after having my hair done.
Whilst taking a quick look through the knitting patterns in one of the local charity shops I found these little gems Health Vest for the Family knitted in Coats Musica Health Vest Cotton.
How amazing, I remember my dad always wearing what he called a singlet /string vest.
But I am certain that his were always shop bought.
And then I found this pattern.
Football legion from the 1950's / 1960's Bill Brown was happly having his photo used to sell Health Vest knitted in Twilley's No 1 Health Vest Cotton.
Bill Borwn started his career with Dundee in September 1949, with whom he made 214 Scottish League appearances and won the Scottish League Cup in 1952, before joining Tottenham Hotspurs on June 22, 1959, for the then amzing transfer fee of £16,500.
I wonder how much he got paid by Twilley's ?
TTFN.

Do you fancy being swept back back in time to parallel universe where every other sentence ends in an exclamation mark. Jolly good show! Hard cheese! and every thing is just too marvellous for words!
Yes..... Oh Jolly good show then join me and listen to the new BBC Radio 4 series Good Show Clarrisa!
Joanna Lumley and Helen Mirren, together with Cranford’s Lisa Dillon, are to recreating a world gone by of classic girls’ school stories of midnight feasts, of climb out of a window in the middle of the night to eat…?”
“Hard-boiled eggs. Tongue sandwiches with lettuce. Gingerbread cake and lashing and lashings of Cream Soda or Ginger beer........
Helen Mirren will be reading from A Midnight Revel by Angela Brazil.
Joanna Lumley, a boarding school girl herself, has plumped for an Enid Blyton story.
Lisa Dillon reads from Jemima Gets Them Guessing by Hilda Richards.
I will be listening curled up in my favourite chair with my hot chocolate drifting off in to a warm and cozy place ........
Chin Chin .........

Life has been some what hectic of late hence the lack of Blog update, apologise for that,
However I thought I would share with you a recent night out that Shady Ray and I had at a wine bar called Schmooze a classy little joint just of Penny lane (Liverpool) - that knows a think or two about swing which is why the amazing Dominic Helpin & The Honey B's play there on regular monthly basis.
Schmooze was packed with friendly jazz / swing fans and the atmosphere was warm we managed to find space to dance and ones again had an excellent night.
I must admit I was glad to get home and hang my dancing shoes up for another day..... and I slept like a baby...zzzzzz
TTFN.
