The 40's weekend

Thank you to Chis for this one (Cacklin rosie,or CAB)

Around the 19th 20th or 21st of August each year our little market town ,celebrate the 40's ,at a nearby disused airfield ,the shops in the town all enter into the spririt of things with wonderful window displays ,and on the air field it self are the most interesting sights to be seen ,most people dresed for the occasion ,ladies with their fox furs,land girls ,people riding around on old sit up and beg bicycles ,lots of different uniforms ,even children delightfully dressed up in the costumes of the era ,ladies with their lace gloves carrying their baskets ,usually with a handbag in it ,all the ladies of couse wearing a hat ,you saw what I was wearing ,on my entry a couple of days ago ,though only for the dance in the evening ,Which again was amazing well over seven hundred people in a vast hanger , the atphosphere was well,full of the war time spirit ,every one happy ,and into the the mood set by the way it had all been,organised  union jacks on the tables which looked like a big street party ,music from the time had us singing along,and tapping our feet,Maurice doesnt dance ,nor did the daughter and son in law of the lady who sat opposite me ,but we couldnt bear it ,so we danced together ,and danced our little legs off  ,she said afterwards how she hadnt danced for years and was so pleased Id talked her  into taking the floor ,we had such fun ,then we sat for a rest ,and the place erupted when the band played there'll always be an England ,waving our flags and singing at the top of our voices .....yes a really happy night,and the nice thing is after expences lots of money goes to charitys  ......Have  lovely day everyone .
