Fun at the Pickering 40s Revival

Had a fantastic retro weekend at Pickering with a couple of friends, looking forward to next years already.

In the tilt hat I finally finished on the friday night before Pickering, it was a close one, flowers ribbons and bows to match my blouse from nudeedudee at etsy.

Feeling very patrotic on the Sunday.
We had a very lesuirely journey that day, via the Whitby to Pickering steam train and by which we where able to spend some time at 'Le Visham' the Nasi occupied and remote 'french' hamlet.

Even being 2011 its still a bit chilling to see this menacing duo in full nazi army regalia as your leaving your carriage for the cosy rural station platform, I can say that we didn't spend an awful lot of time at Le Visham and jumped back onto the train for Pickering. 

My train ticket and compact.

It was fabulous to see so many of the visitors dressed up in full 40s civilian and forces clothing, this was our second time at the North Yorkshire 40s revival weekend and we always so pleased to see all the enthusiasts dressed to the nines, it was all very elegant and stylish. However I did get a few curious looks from the people in the patrol station the morning we arrived, however that was Whitby and they should be used to it by now!

There was only problem with this 40s weekend and that is it ended to soon.
