A Very British Glamour











One of my favourite presents from Mr That's Not My Age is this Norman Parkinson book, full of fabulous photos and the odd mince pie crumb! Here's a small selection of very glamorous images - including a couple taken in Blackpool, Parks on the promenade, would you believe it?


And there's still time to see the exhibition; Norman Parkinson: A Very British Glamour is on at Somerset House until 31 January 2010

Fantastic present, well done Mr That's Not My Age! I'm sorry that I will miss the exhibition as I'm off to the Cotswolds for New Year (I'm still not posh - my brother just happens to live there!)

But Coz - you must see it when you get back!

As Joan Collins says, "Only sheep wear fleece." I have to agree, and say in addition, it doesn't even look that good on them.

Thanks for taking us on a lovely photo journey of your Sunday outing.
