Unfortunately I had braces that would sometimes twang the back of my head if they came loose. I think I was 14 before I was allowed to wear long trousers.

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Perhaps you should get a jump on the market.
ReplyDeleteYou're right; I should.
DeleteSimple indeed and very efficient.
ReplyDeletePerfect for the job!
DeletePeter was only lamenting their absence the other day.
ReplyDeleteHow strange that we should both think of them.
DeleteI certainly had one of those.
ReplyDeleteThose of us 'of a certain age' all did, I think.
DeleteThose belts take me back Cro !! Didn't the cubs or scouts have them as part of their uniform ?!! XXXX
ReplyDeleteQuite possibly (I was neither). They were the standard belt for most small boys.
DeleteGosh. Yes. In one's school colours too. That's one for the memory box.
ReplyDeleteThat's right; ours were red, white, and green, stripes.
DeleteUnfortunately I had braces that would sometimes twang the back of my head if they came loose. I think I was 14 before I was allowed to wear long trousers.
ReplyDeleteI can remember my first pair of longs... I was so proud.
DeleteHere in the US it was web belts with a metal push together clasp and THEY are becoming cool again. Vintage is hot.
ReplyDeleteSo it should be, it was probably better designed!
