1940's Knees Up At The Brewhouse Yard

Earlier in the year, my good friend and fellow member of The Vintage Vixens, Amy, and I went along to the 1940s knees-up. This is an annual event held at the Brewhouse Yard museum, near Nottingham Castle.

A lovely accessible 'vintage' event, perfect for those just getting into the vintage style scene, those keen longtime enthusiasts like myself or just general members of the public.

There was a general wartime feel with people dressed up in military clothing with old vehicles as well as dances and vintage items on sale.

Here are a few photos expertly taken by Amy McAskell

A Summertime Trip To Stonebridge City Farm

I took my daughter and her friend to visit this lovely inner-city treasure.

Stonebridge City Farm is a small slice of the  good old fashioned countryside in the heart of the City of Nottingham!

It's also excellent value for money... Free to visit and open every day

(As it's actually a charity, I always like to leave a small donation to help...)

The site is accessible to all – Young, old, those in between, families with young children, people with disabilities.

 The farm itself is  very wheelchair friendly. 

Really impressed!

Here are a few of the photos that I took of the day....

One thing for certain is that we'll be back.... I quite like the sound of the bee keeping course!
