Well... Saturday night was THE night! We had our hair done by Sarah at Rose Tinted Vintage in Bedford and used roughly one can of hair spray each to maintain the lovely styles until the evening.
Dressed and with make-up and eyelashes applied (and before the alcohol)

The girls!
At The Stables we danced and drank and talked and listened to amazing music and generally had a smashing time! It was great, everyone there was dressed up and appropriately in the swing of things and we had a lovely time. We were taught to dance the Foxtrot and Quickstep and I waddled around the floor with at least three different partners, reciting what the dance teacher was saying even while not doing it: step, together, step, rock, rock, rock, forward, side back.
Outside there were deckchairs and a vintage car which we of course posed on!
This is me and Paul and the car.
These are the hair grips I took out of my hair at the end of the night. My hair did incredibly well and stayed in almost to the end. It would have stayed curled as well if I hadn't washed and brushed it out.
So much better than a normal night out clubbing. It was sociable, we could all talk to each other and hear ourselves think. There were plenty of places to sit and everyone was in the spirit.
Marvellous! What ho!
