About Me

What ho everyone,

Welcome to my light hearted MySpace spot. I am a chap with a passion of the 1930s and 1940s. My wife (Edna) and I also perform 20th century social history under the name of Home Front Friends.

We also like to attend the odd retro event, especially lindyhop swing dances, retro festivals and historical venues. As well as wearing clothes which are a little out of date. Well all I say is it was fasionable about 60 years.

Anyway do pop along to our website and see what young Edna and I are up to!
