People WANT you to come to their events. Anyways this looks like a total blast - I love that old scooter, I have a thing for scooters even though I have never owned one (perhaps one day!). This looks like a wonderful venue, I hope you had a really successful day:)Treeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07319274204951528344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-89116420344170265362014-09-12T09:32:35.766+01:002014-09-12T09:32:35.766+01:00This looks like a great event, I love having a bro...This looks like a great event, I love having a browse around this kind of thing.<br /><br />We've moved up the Rhondda valley and everyone wondered why the heck we were leaving Cardiff, but we love it, there's some really great stuff locally.<br /><br />P xPorcelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202283149145094340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-71559975312086543042014-09-11T19:18:36.536+01:002014-09-11T19:18:36.536+01:00Now that looks like a weekend to be thoroughly enj...Now that looks like a weekend to be thoroughly enjoyed! You and Jon look lovely, and the photos were are so fun! The history of industrial urban areas are extra fascinating ... drivers of culture and progressive ideas, etc. For a time we had an annual antique car show at our little town, and it was always great for the restaurant as these folks usually have a coin or two to rub together. Sadly we lost it to a little larger town down the road.<br />Hope you had a groovy weekend!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630135395645059302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-71087520485920645142014-09-10T11:43:03.861+01:002014-09-10T11:43:03.861+01:00A really interesting post, I find these posts grea...A really interesting post, I find these posts great because I learn so much, two lovely ladies . xxxat my dressingtablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021287105016867366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-1338425290463274812014-09-10T00:39:06.067+01:002014-09-10T00:39:06.067+01:00I need that scooter in my life!!

I'm a nomad by nature and sometimes it seems I could love almost any place like "my hometown" - the whole world is my hometown, way too much love inside. :)<br /><br />You, Liz and Jon look completely smashing!

How interesting to learn about Walsall's history, I had no idea that Ma'am's handbags were made there. I agree wholeheartedly with what you say about one's home town, I've heard so many whingers over the years knocking our town, but most of them moved here from elsewhere to get a job at Gatwick. I felt like saying 'fuck off back to Scunthorpe then (other towns are available) and get a job there if it's so bad here' You and Liz are visions of loveliness as always and doesn't she look good on the Gadabout? xxx Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11809277044939851200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-80515458775800906452014-09-08T13:45:21.614+01:002014-09-08T13:45:21.614+01:00What a treat!
