The photos were taken by Chris when we went to Cromer for the afternoon. The film was a colour 120 although I think it was meant to be 620, it still worked though was just pretty stiff to roll the film on. Only 5 photos out of 8 came out (possibly wound on too far in between shots, oops)... and these were the best 3! Can't wait to get our own dark room!</span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgArxKWDwsjaTZpwp8PrJZdoB3MPzOQeoTcIQJdoEUAzTc3A4vN8H1JQULUDP_r6aPIXduOhlTqLDG4qjA88FP9nEOXcaiclXWtw1aAIycvvXgXL4vsfl6bFFexRGy_xYqHHNUc4KbdfbE/s1600/b3.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599911453265341810" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgArxKWDwsjaTZpwp8PrJZdoB3MPzOQeoTcIQJdoEUAzTc3A4vN8H1JQULUDP_r6aPIXduOhlTqLDG4qjA88FP9nEOXcaiclXWtw1aAIycvvXgXL4vsfl6bFFexRGy_xYqHHNUc4KbdfbE/s320/b3.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 229px;" /></a><br />

We went to a joint 50th birthday bash of my aunt and uncle and saw lots of family. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">On Saturday we visited some fellow VW enthusiasts, Buddy and Louise, who have been wanting to move to Canada for over a year and finally just sold their house a couple of weeks ago! So we are keeping our fingers crossed for them :)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We exchanged photos of our wedding and a wedding they went to in Vegas the same weekend as our wedding! (Know where I'd rather have been!) </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Louise also told us if we have a baby girl we can have her 1960s dolls pram and dolls she had when she was little! What a lovely vintage surprise! :)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Later that day we went to Ikea. Possibly the worst way to cheat on vintage, with mass-produced, flat-packed furniture! Though if you pick the right items and combine nicely with some key retro pieces I think it can work very well. It's also so easy, they have everything you want at a good price, no need to scour the internet for hours and hours only to get outbid at the last second! </span><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We started the trip off with delicious Swedish meatballs <3 then slowly worked our way round the store, excitedly buying baby items and other things to make our house more homely :)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Though I wasn't impressed when we got home to find I had forgotten to pick up certain fitting of bulb for our new floor lamp! Oh well, looks like we'll be making another trip!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We also went to the cinema with my brother where we found these napkins!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We then finished the weekend off nicely with a BBQ my brother had organised as a sort of farewell party before he joins the RAF.</span><br />

It's such a strange feeling, not knowing what to expect, I bet second time around is much better at least you know what happens exactly. I am coping OK though, even not having any family or friends around, I've just been keeping busy with sorting the house out!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We had another scan this Monday to check how things were going and everything is fine, which was a nice relief. Although we were informed the baby is 35-36 weeks size already, so we're going to have a big baby! Although at least baby is growing properly and is healthy. We saw the baby swallowing (no wonder it gets hiccups so much the amount it swallowed!) and then the radiographer zoomed in on the baby's face and it was amazing like a photo!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Other baby related things are what we have had to get ready for the baby. As Chris only had a 2 seater van and I had no car, we decided it was time to buy a new car with more seats! Chris decided he wanted a Mk5 Golf (yes we only wanted a VW!) So we found a really good one and we and picked it up last weekend, which just happened to be in Bournemouth (where my dad lives). So we had a lovely weekend at the beach and my was it hot!</span><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Also last weekend we thought it was about time to look for a pram and car seat, so not only did we look we ended up buying them!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Ideally we would have had a vintage Silver Cross or similar. Chris still wants a Wisa Gloria because they look like a hot rod!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Though practicality-wise, as we go to a lot of VW shows on grass we thought an off road pram would be better suited to us. So we picked a Baby Jogger. Quite plain in black, but it will look much better when it has some lovely blankets in etc. :)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

The house is so lovely as well I couldn't have been happier :) </span></div>beatricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03015972782204250119noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387499579852818766.post-71912114041900210062011-04-20T13:18:00.002+01:002011-04-20T13:19:36.410+01:00Volksworld<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><b>27th March</b></span><br />

Chris was so nervous throughout the ceremony I held his hand so tight throughout the whole thing.

</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Not long till the wedding now literally 10 weeks! How exciting!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So far we have got the venues booked. Cambridge register office and Cambridge University Sports and Social Club. We have also booked the band, the </span><a href="http://www.the6ts.co.uk/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">6Ts</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> who do sixties covers.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-p69DmUNC4WnxdZd_GItgeRzQqMep-QiVtjxJsHxilUSiEiI5qp4gMS6MrgVWKoL9iC04wo4FGcC_Z1J7unupQSE_CRy28WCyua89Iv5MCZDgp8Dtf9ir5tVTyOrHo2n00TUSgUKqsUw/s1600/ee1b1c5634fd5208ffff85ead4355564.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-p69DmUNC4WnxdZd_GItgeRzQqMep-QiVtjxJsHxilUSiEiI5qp4gMS6MrgVWKoL9iC04wo4FGcC_Z1J7unupQSE_CRy28WCyua89Iv5MCZDgp8Dtf9ir5tVTyOrHo2n00TUSgUKqsUw/s320/ee1b1c5634fd5208ffff85ead4355564.jpg" width="214" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We decided a band would add a nicer touch than a dj! I can't wait for them to play!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I have also bought my wedding dress and all the bridesmaids dresses. Managed to get them all for under £200! Just hope the bridesmaid's dresses all fit now!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We have also decided on a cake design, which Chris's mum is making!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The invitations are being designed at the moment and hopefully will be sent out in a few weeks! I have found some envelopes for them just need to get them made soon. They are being laser cut which I'm very excited about!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Though that is it! We are going shopping for Chris's suit and all the accessories for it this weekend in Cambridge and London. He said he found a really cool retro Lambretta one in pinstripes which sounds fab! Him and my brother who is best man have also decided they want to wear low top Converse All Stars with their suits! More retro cool!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Lastly I have decided on the bouquets which will be cream roses tied with cream lace.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">No pics as of yet though I'm afraid!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">That also means about 8 weeks till we move and till I leave my job! Not looking forward to telling work, but very excited about moving though so I can get away from the stench of this flat so fed up of my sense of smell triggering my morning sickness!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">There is still lots and lots to do though! I feel like I'm in a bit of a mad panic at the moment over it all!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Other retro-ness I have to share we have been collecting more stamps to go into the collections we have both built up.

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">We have been very busy bees.</span></span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">1. We found somewhere to live and moved in.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">2. We got engaged.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">3. We have been planning the wedding.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Somewhere in between all that we have still been collecting retro, kitsch and vintage items that we want to share with the world. Just think of it like we have been off working on writing material. Ahem.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Home sweet home</span></span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Anyway. Where do I start?? I'm not even sure to be honest.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Perhaps with our lovely home. It is a flat built in 1901 situated above a bakery in an old fashioned little village in the depths of Cambridgeshire. Every wall, door frame and line in the flat is wonky and we love it. When were spirit levels invented exactly??? Since we moved in we have been busy decorating, furnishing and unpacking. Well let's say Chris has I've mainly just been throwing up a lot and hiding in our now very pretty bedlinen.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Furniture and things</span></span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">We have acquired lots of lovely vintage furniture from ebay, vintage shops and friends. I can't wait to post about them all!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The kitchen has an original 1950s glass fronted wall cabinet which is currently housing all out china and glass although the best of this is moving to its new home of a lovely wood and glass cabinet which we are collecting this weekend. We are also collecting a lovely solid wood side board and wardrobe and a 1930s 3 piece suite!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">We also got bought a 1950s formica table and a 1930s dressing table and mirror as moving in presents from our mothers!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><b><br />
</b></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><b>Will you marry me?</b></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">We finally got engaged as well after having bought the engagement ring months ago! We bought the ring from an antique jewellers while we were holidaying in Cornwall. It is from 1900-1910 with a solitaire diamond and is the prettiest piece of jewellery I have ever seen!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I got home from work one Saturday afternoon to find the flat spotless and there on our 1950s formica table was our treasured polaroid camera with a polaroid hanging out of it. On closer inspection the polaroid was of a post-it note (a private joke) that read "Will you marry me?" and the ring in a beautiful bakelite heart box.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Chris walked in at that moment and I jumped into his arms! We hugged as I giggled and kissed. He asked me if I saw what was on the table. I replied of course I had and was he going to ask me properly! He knelt down one one knee asked me the question I'd be so longing for him to ask me and said YESSSSS!!!!!! Of course!!!!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">So that pretty much sums up most of what's been happening recently.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I have also got a job, though have been off sick since last week. I work at the Post Office! How quaint :)</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I'll try not to leave it so long next time. Plus I'll get busy on the pictures next!</span></span><br />

I have also made flapjacks for the first time too, so I am not sure how they will have turned out as they are still cooling but they smell delicious!</span></span></div>beatricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03015972782204250119noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387499579852818766.post-71209659650113927552010-08-17T11:15:00.003+01:002010-08-17T11:34:06.903+01:00Our Coolest Find!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWhhWkRQIrsP7T1CJgLsNIz_oCiEUMOHmqRZt1svkqDsRB2DuhsGcqmdz42STmEUL7K4LB6y_9T80bTk1M4f7vtE5dfGAn-ulNCkzTL0SZOhNiJ9nBu5A5Q1OgvHrzNpgH3ujAQTzOGf8/s1600/IMG_3132.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWhhWkRQIrsP7T1CJgLsNIz_oCiEUMOHmqRZt1svkqDsRB2DuhsGcqmdz42STmEUL7K4LB6y_9T80bTk1M4f7vtE5dfGAn-ulNCkzTL0SZOhNiJ9nBu5A5Q1OgvHrzNpgH3ujAQTzOGf8/s400/IMG_3132.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506324867765319202" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbFrJ9ZIaUbWg6DYWObaFUsZRKX-QPKMtSOFNZmBpc5bLAFgfMGPmV_ZrWQzRa3XyznOa0ZJbdRIpp5_dTjWfPOuiYdiH6wCQdZF757Uvbld2WpUlGUZvrHHZOykM7LAOp0NNaVeurEhw/s1600/IMG_3127.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbFrJ9ZIaUbWg6DYWObaFUsZRKX-QPKMtSOFNZmBpc5bLAFgfMGPmV_ZrWQzRa3XyznOa0ZJbdRIpp5_dTjWfPOuiYdiH6wCQdZF757Uvbld2WpUlGUZvrHHZOykM7LAOp0NNaVeurEhw/s400/IMG_3127.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506324860490056706" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQmXVjQVLwXdP72aEK27osHANkUpkuivg30wvCrUe32lk8kQkux2-I7iBlrGK-7fNQRJc44_8JDTKrY2BRT3UACMUiO7nblB111cxYKzHotmqNEsXsjtt0eRslHUPSNyOPeo_rnmbtGPg/s1600/IMG_3122.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQmXVjQVLwXdP72aEK27osHANkUpkuivg30wvCrUe32lk8kQkux2-I7iBlrGK-7fNQRJc44_8JDTKrY2BRT3UACMUiO7nblB111cxYKzHotmqNEsXsjtt0eRslHUPSNyOPeo_rnmbtGPg/s400/IMG_3122.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506324855064979842" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-v1sYu_Bh1yPda0t1Z9XigJdly51lOPexmrcfM85NoHfs1ybQaOzxB2iwL2ym99WMcNZ1Mxnm4ffqA8QH_jyKgWvAPDtIY0yNcmNv4YC7HlSxVimU9Fc88s2C-TcsFobQDWHAwipWyS0/s1600/IMG_3121.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-v1sYu_Bh1yPda0t1Z9XigJdly51lOPexmrcfM85NoHfs1ybQaOzxB2iwL2ym99WMcNZ1Mxnm4ffqA8QH_jyKgWvAPDtIY0yNcmNv4YC7HlSxVimU9Fc88s2C-TcsFobQDWHAwipWyS0/s400/IMG_3121.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506324851739050786" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3OFiPhUcdvorMyZsk_bLpMAeGy28T_myEniot5KJLUBvxWYPKU1vrqZjAwbJ88l3bh7BQ0GoJzLKtGc9WwKPq7s0mojreXn4M8Jtolmu1JKdCorlrD_dTcTPcV6mxLRRb7zEEePTIQ74/s1600/IMG_3118.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3OFiPhUcdvorMyZsk_bLpMAeGy28T_myEniot5KJLUBvxWYPKU1vrqZjAwbJ88l3bh7BQ0GoJzLKtGc9WwKPq7s0mojreXn4M8Jtolmu1JKdCorlrD_dTcTPcV6mxLRRb7zEEePTIQ74/s400/IMG_3118.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506324848895630930" /></a><br />Last weekend Myself and the Lady decided to take a trip to the car boot in search of some quaint old English cups, plates and home ware. Which im sure will make a feature soon. But being a man we had to buy these! <br />This is a 1950's Auto-maptic. A very rare slide map! Described as "Safer and quicker to use than a folding map"<br />Being an old road map its Fun to see no M25 (the UK's biggest car park) and 2 proposed motorways (M1 & M6)<br />Its such a cool little piece of 50's tech we couldn't pass it up!<br />The other little find was this Very clean 1957 Brownie Flash 3 box camera from Kodak. It features a nice little push button shutter button, a filter, focal range slide and an optional flash!<br />I hope we get more luck like this in the future!<br />Enjoy.Crustyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12906810959963223648noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387499579852818766.post-10478436189921092562010-07-26T23:51:00.000+01:002010-07-26T23:51:03.449+01:0011 Updates From The Last Week<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Haven't updated the blog in a whole week so here are some snippets from the last week :)</span></span><br />

I was reading an article in a magazine on DC Comic's Wonder Woman. She is the world's most famous female super-hero and she is getting an all new makeover to mark the landmark 600th issue of her comic book. This is fair enough. She has had makeovers before, only before they just brought the same outfit a bit more up to date. This time they are completely giving her a whole new look she doesn't even look like the same character any more! She is going to be a lot more covered up now in leggings instead of hotpants and a jacket over her strapless top and they think that is modern!</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">What akso annoys me is that this is down to DC Comics hiring a new writer to apparently bring Wonder Woman into the 21st Century and he was quoted saying</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">"...She's been locked into pretty much the exact same outfit since her debut in 1941.

Me and my boyfriend Chris really love to go camping in a tent and are really excited to be going this weekend. We are thinking of going to the Cotswolds as it is so beautiful there. I also love how not many people enjoy going camping these days and if they do go they cheat and go in a caravan! There is even a whole new craze now of 'glamping' which in my opinion isn't even camping at all! At least festivals are keeping the spirit up though!</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Another addition to our camping and picnic gear is a lovely picnic blanket, which I first spotted in </span></span><a href="http://www.allaboutyou.com/home/channel~index?source=2"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Country Living</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> magazine made by </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><a href="http://www.barefootkitchen.com/">Barefoot Kitchen</a>.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> They are made from 'shoddy wool' which is the scraps of wool that would usually get thrown away and Barefoot have made them into gorgeous blankets!

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I also love the fact that it's a tiny company in Cornwall, me and Chris are both big on supporting small businesses :) They usually sell the nicest things anyway!</span></span><br />

</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Next on the list is to decide on a campsite and the food to take which I have been planning already although I'm not going to write about that as it's a surprise for Chris! <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">♥</span></span></span><br />

</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I can tell you though that we'll most definitely be listening to some retro music while we are away as we always do like the Kinks, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Specials, Madness, The Clash and much more!</span></span><br />

</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Another thing we talked about having in our house is a massive shelf for displaying all our retro cameras on, like the polaroid in the title banner. I will do a post on the cameras sometime as they are amazing! We thought it would be cool to just grab a camera off the shelf on the way out somewhere! We also want our own dark room too :)</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new', serif;"><br />
