Santas Revenge


Having pretty much avoided Christmas and all that goes with it for most of the last 50 years (too busy, got stuff to do and various other vague evasions) we have finally run out of excuses and, short of an early death, Santa is really getting his own back this year. By the magic of low air fares, we get to spend Christmas with the Children of the Sixties, pictured here as Loves Young Dream. Presumably this was snapped before the Wily Watson had the Handsome Harvey finally and fully snared since Foolish Fred apparently, still thought he had something to laugh about.

As though this was not retro enough, we will also be spending time with those suave sophisticates, the Android Sisters, regal beauties whose elegance and sense of style are the stuff of legends. These rare and candid snaps of the Harvey Girls provide just a glimpse of their stunning wardrobe and youthful energy and could well be part of the reason why not too many people remember the nineties.

Clearly, Christmas in the Old Country promises to be loads of fun and I can't help hoping that Santa has a little Pork Pie in mind for me or maybe just some plain old Fish and Chips! For our part, we will be thrilled to catch up on all of the news and get acquainted with the new generation.
