HI FRIENDS! It’s 2014, how did that happen? And just over a month since my last post, which is the longest gap ever! But a much-needed break. Since I last posted, I have moved across London from the deepest south west – suburban Surrey where I have resided for the last decade – into (not…

No See Views
Once upon a time, a week or so ago, two girls called Fleur and Bethan went to the seaside for tea, but they didn’t see very much. It was foggy, you… erm… see. Yeah. So anyway, here are some things that the fog didn’t obscure. The Blackbird Tea Rooms (and their loos) were lovely! …
Poncho chic
Last week, I had the distinct honour of being invited to Future Cinema‘s much-hyped presentation of Bugsy Malone. The invite came through the fantabulous Bangs and a Bun (thanks Bangalang!) and she got a little group of us Run Dem Crew running ladies together for the occasion. Now, I’ve obviously heard of Future Cinema and…
Red, white and Navy
Ahoy! This is the fourth in a series of adventures I’ve been sent on, by and for The King’s Ginger. Think of it as a history mini-series, accompanied by pictures of me in frocks. This month, I travelled down to Portsmouth to look at boats and eat fish & chips. Sorry, I mean, to take a serious…
White rabbits
Happy June everyone! I’m looking forward to this month, and all the debauchery and shenanigans it holds. This time last year, I had no inkling of the epic fail that the rest of the year was to become for me, and this year has been one of much change so far. This time next month,…
Fun ting
I’ve been a member of the rather splendid New Sheridan Club for quite some time. They always organise the most marvellous parties – one in the summer, and one close to Christmas; with various other outings and occasions in between. But one thing I’d never managed to attend until now was the Annual Oxford Punt,…
Holiday Road
So, my holiday to the South of France. What follows is a fairly short review, with only photos that are either interesting for vintage folks due to either outfits, or amusement factor…. so, if you care to, read on! This holiday was with five of the best gals a lady could hope to know. I’d…
Prohibition meets pop
Last weekend, the vintage world met the modern one in a big dance off, featuring much whipping of hair. My five best vintage girlfriends (also known as the Vintage Mafia) and I had a big night out, which was supposed to be a sort of farewell to lovely Jeni‘s old flat (even though we only…
The wily, windy moor…
I was certainly out on it! Last week, I was honoured and privileged to have been one of a group of four journalists (a term that can only be loosely applied to me, let’s be honest) on a whirlwind, two-day press trip to the highlands of Scotland. The aim was to introduce me to a…
Several thousand words…
Hi all! Rushing in and out with not a lot of time for writing, so I’m going to cheat and bung up some pictures of the things that made up my world last weekend, for an almost purely visual treat. Warning… there are a lot! Hope you enjoy 🙂 Friday… The Hendrick’s Courtship Clinic, which…
