To be able to write freely is the sort of honour that comes rarely in any man's life, let alone mine. So the fact that Harry writes blogs is rarity of a rare order. Halley's comet seems like a blasted nuisance in comparison.

About me:
What ho everyone,
Welcome to my light hearted MySpace spot. I am a chap with a passion of the 1930s and 1940s. My wife (Edna) and I also perform 20th century social history under the name of Home Front Friends.
We also like to attend the odd retro event, especially lindyhop swing dances, retro festivals and historical venues. As well as wearing clothes which are a little out of date. Well all I say is it was fasionable about 60 years.
Anyway do pop along to our website and see what young Edna and I are up to!

Who I'd like to meet: All you wonderful people, creating a little bit of vintage in cyberspace and Demetra Plakas of course.
What a coincidence! I was just thinking of you as I was looking through my 1940's knitting patterns and wondering what to try making next! I havn't been reenacting for about four years now. I felt I was being pulled in too many directions, there was so much I wanted to do and living in the Dark ages was taking over somewhat. I do miss it sometimes, especially seen as sometimes these day I feel I am heading in no direction at all! :-) The wartime event a Pickering should be coming up soon, perhaps I shall go, and if all else fails there is always curry! Hope you managed to get that cuppa without giving yourself an injury! Angela
Yes, but it is an awfully good picture of Edna! Better luck next time dear chap and I hope you all enjoy your weekend at the Royal Gunpowder Mills, it looks a jolly exciting place! I am out in Cottingham tonight indulging in a spot of Chinese food and some live music! Toodle loo Angela
Hello Harry! Glad to be back in touch too! I think it was my enthusiasm for Sausage that caused me to attract the unsavoury types, as long as I don't mention the "S" word I think I should be fine on Myspace now! Hehehe! Hope all is well there! Angela
"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
Hi, I answered you on twitter but seem to be having a bit of trouble. My messages are not being sent out to friends. The only messages being sent out are when I do not message anyone. Its a shame not sure when twitter will fix the problem will still continue to message you via twitter. I hate having to ask you to do this, I know you are a very busy man & don't really have the time, a favor could you look at my twitter page once in a while to see if I may have replied to you & will you please let me know when you can see my replies on your page. I will never know you've viewed my page.
Thank you Harry, have a great sunday.
Miss Nathalie
I wish I could have applied, but all mu furniture is with the MIL whilst we are in exile. When we eventually get to France I'll be having a riot sourcing vintage pieces for out new place!!
Certainly old thing! I must admit the linkage doesnt appear to work. I hate to be a pain but would you mind a reversal of roles? If you search for rupert bell, its a little easier! Hope you are well old thing! Pip pip! R
