Can we go back to the simple pleasures of of posting pictures of vintage pencil sharpeners now? This was my dad's. Possibly 70 years old. Brings me joy.
Has anyone noticed this picture of Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) 7ft up a telegraph pole near Walton on the Naze Station?
Wonderfully random.
Unless she's one of the 30+ candidates standing in the Clacton by-election this week! 🤣

Had the best time DJing with the rest of the Go!Girls at the fabulous Rivoli Ballroom last Friday. What a venue. And a truly lovely crowd of dancers.

Very nice find on the beach this morning. A piece of "pier pottery" from the old pier restaurant from the 40s or 50s. With the full Walton Pier Ltd logo on the rim of the plate.

I made my first proper cake for a good 15 years. Feeling ridiculously pleased with myself. And it was bloody delicious.

Someone in the house may have got some Joy Division oven gloves (thank you Iain) but look what Santa just bought me! Once I get my hands on 3 AA batteries there's going to be no stopping me. Baileys for breakfast and a Stylophone that only has instructions in German? What could possibly go wrong!!
