It has been an amazing weekend for me one of my sisters and brother-in-laws were with me. It was my husbands birthday and as if that wasn't good enough the sun shone brightly on us and on the amazing
vintage festival that happened on the Southbank in London this weekend. I met some wonderful people over the weekend and will spend this week bring you my shots from around the festival. Kicking of the week are Anne and Nick Robinson. They are from Ormskirk and the 1940's is their favourite era. Their love of vintage dressing grew from Anne's initial love of corsetry. Their beautiful suits were bought from a lady called Betty who runs The 1940's Room in Stafford, whom they had met at another vintage event. Nicks suit is an original 40's demob suit. The sole of his shoes still bore the original demob stamp. In their daily lives Anne is a Civil Servant and Nick works as a Military Consultant. Their surprises for me were that Anne keeps tarantulas’ and Nick has lived in the Arctic for a total of
9 months. This was spread over 3 years, first a 4 month and then a 5 month stint. The coldest temperature he has ever experienced was minus 73.

Wonderful event! I especially like the gentleman's dapper suit and love how you delve into their interesting lives.
I need to check out if there is a vintage event in our neck of the woods. I routinely see vintage cars ('20s to '40s era) in the summers on the main road and wonder if they are also dressed for the times. xxx
Wow! cant wait to see the rest of your photos! sounds like a lot of fun! I love their personal little quirks! you would never pick it! :)
Love the look of this couple!

I'm glad you had a good time out with your hubby for his bday and I think the 40's is such a cool classic era and I don't see much from it because it's so much about the 60's and 70's now.
Great post
