The April issue

Hooray, the new issue of the magazine arrived today, looking very spring-like. It has the vintage fashion feature inside which I blogged about a few weeks ago.  Here is a little taster, although it's best viewed at www.bestlocalliving.co.uk in e-magazine format. My shots are photos of photos so not the best quality. All pics are by Lesley Anne Churchill, and she did an amazing job. I can't believe my cake ended up on the front cover. I'd have put a few more eggs in if I'd known!

Here is Poppy in the 1950s dress I've been hoarding for a couple of years. Knew it would be useful one day!
And Meli:

A 1953 Country Life, which is something else I've had by me for ages....

I think my favourite shot of all is the two girls with the bunting and those tea dresses. 

The girls did brilliantly. It was the first modelling assignment they'd ever done....


Easter Holidays now. My boys finished school today. Not much a break for the eldest, as he's revising for his AS levels and there is a mountain of work for him to get through...lots of pressure, things were simpler in my time...
