Vintage Vacation....

Hello
Small talk from me today.
I am away from my virtual world for a short time....
I  know I will miss your sweet words and wonderful days in pictures...
But I will be back with a skip and a jump before you know it!
~ And with a few tales to tell......


~ 
BIG summery HUGS to YOU all....
Phew!
It feels kinda like the summer of 1976...
Don't you think?
Love Maria x

    Hope you have a great time Maria and good luck to Dean ...

    I trust there'll be a bit of time to spend looking in vintage French boutiques and broquantes? Ooh la la!

    Summer of '76 ... I remember it well ... lasted until October, so that would be fabulous :)

    Love Claire xxx

    Phew! Yes! Phew!
    I have a large brick Barby...And, yesterday
    l fried a couple of eggs on the slab, in the
    sun....5mins, that's all it took...!
    Could'nt lift them off, so ate them where they
    were...! :).

    And, very good luck to Dean, have to check the TV
    listings, must be on Sky somewhere....Make sure you
    wear a pink floppy hat, Maria, then we'll all be able
    see you....! :).

    jumping about now.....!!!

    Good luck to Dean and hope you have a wonderful break. 76, yes you're right my man said the same the other day... I went to visit him in his college halls of residence and we looked like lobsters after sunbathing in Battersea Park.
