No, I've already walked you Jimmy and I'm still trying to wipe your slabber of my leg!

Re: Sadly Not Sew -
.... Life in London was far more luxurious - I think primarily because it was a male space, my father's flat for work. My Mother certainly visited, as we all did, but she never got to domesticate the place. It stayed a place of indulgence and not of practicality.
We always lived on Sloane Avenue in town either in the Nell Gwyn, Chelsea Cloisters, Cranmer Court, or, my favourite and where I bought my first flat, the Art Deco folly that is Sloane Avenue Mansions.
In fact I've lived in SAM longer than anywhere else in my nomadic life (Wandering Jew). It broke my heart to move out to Ashley Gardens in Westminster, not too far from where I was born, but the money was too tempting. I got a bigger cheaper flat and still had fun but a thread in my life had somehow been broken and it was never the same again. After a few years I let the flat to my (then) brother in law and moved to the country (which I'd always hated) trying to reconnect with... something. I put a decade of effort into the project and did up various houses and gardens along the way, fathered a daughter, but the old world had gone.

Re: Sadly Not Sew -
Very pleased with our new place in Bath though - After the Cotswolds we did 4 years in Bristol doing up a Georgian ruin - We now have a Victorian ruin, but, as it's not listed, we can revel in the rot & have fun...
Alan Clarke's brother Colin was my next door neighbour in Ashley Gardens... Charming man, charming wife, charming son. I enjoyed his book too.
We got our flat there from a Harvard Prof called Dr. Kipper: By all accounts a prince amongst men with a lovely wife. Sad I never met him. I wish I'd seen his shirts...

Lynx is 'orrible...
... I remember Dunlop pumps and TCP, Shetland sweaters and Needlecord five pockets. Nobody wore Denim.
Monthly haircuts, speech impediments, and, in some cases, epilepsy.
A world of beauty.

When you're kept away from talking Ivy you're actually rather impressive. Your sensory memory is very acute. Bravo!

Very kind.
My interest in Ivy is minimal in the grand scheme of things... Remebering kissing girls who wore Pond's Cold Cream is more on my mind these days...

I remember being rather excited by Berlei's Gypsy bra adverts as a young 'un.

None of the gypsies I encountered ever looked like this. Life can be so disappointing.
