Although – wait a minute. What was it that the advert said? So much for underarm hair – but what about the legs? This wa...

Outskirts of the Twenties. A Terribly Sedate Affair. Gone Without A Trace. September 8, 2014. Hallo, and it’s bona to varda your dolly old eeks again after so long! As I sit here in my bijou lattie, with my morning mangare and buvare, recovering from being totally daffy last night, I thought it was time to screeve a bit on the fabulosa lingo that is polari. Now, I know what you’re going to say: What’s a young striller like me know about the parlare of the omi polones of yesteryear? There are not many cli...

The Generation Gap | Outskirts of the Twenties

Outskirts of the Twenties. A Terribly Sedate Affair. Gone Without A Trace. June 21, 2014. The Saturday girl is busy entering details for a local group into our work computer. Standing nearby, I overhear as she reads out what she is typing. SG: ‘so-ci-e-ty.’. Me (catching onto the way she pronounced the four syllables so distinctly): ‘The Self-Preservation Society? SG (with an indulgent smile, for she knows me): ‘The Flute Society, actually.’. Me: ‘Ah, shame. Rather less exciting.’. Enter your comment here.

The Dancing Cake Tin: Lighthouse of Horror

http://thedancingcaketin.blogspot.com/2015/04/lighthouse-of-horror.html

The Dancing Cake Tin. A blog about the stuff I like. Thursday, 23 April 2015. So, there I am in a charity shop in Mere Green (Birmingham) and I spot a plastic lighthouse. It's a novelty light, this is probably why it ended up in a charity shop. I picked it up, had a look, thought naaah and put it back on the shelf. Fortunately my friend was with me and he said 'What are you doing? That'll be great for your Pulp games! And then highlighted with Vallejo Red 70947. And then highlighted with Vallejo Yellow.

Grace | Outskirts of the Twenties

https://outskirtsofthetwenties.wordpress.com/grace

Outskirts of the Twenties. A Terribly Sedate Affair. Gone Without A Trace. This is a page dedicated to my novel, Grace – or at least, to the first few chapters. The chapters themselves are very short, hence posting several of them, but hopefully it will give an idea of how the novel works and how the plot will go. The first thing they all asked me when I announced I was leaving the school was, When will the wedding be? But why won’t Grace, our dear, little, pretty Miss Harris, tell us when it will be?
