So glad to be back on here with my friends after my rather short hiatus!

It's so cold, 'leaves are falling all around', autumn must be on its way!

Housework never ends...

Strider's looking very cute today (I mean Strider the dog!). Robert should have got one of those bikes with a basket on the front for him to sit in.

I know I've not been around for a few weeks and it's a bit late now, but many congratulations on your wedding, and wishing you lots of happiness in your future life together.

Happy belated birthday Sean. I'm really sorry that I missed it! Rachelx

Welcome. I really enjoyed your most recent post on Jimmy's new website. I hope to see you around of the forum. Magic

Hi there, I know I haven't been on the forum very much lately.I just wanted to drop by and say hello and I hope you're doing well.

Hi Deborah, congratulations on finally receiving your book! Enjoy! I am expecting to get mine next week. I can't wait! Magic

Happy Birthday! I hope you are having a great day and feeling a lot better. Magic

Hi aen, I hope you're still enjoying Jimmy's wonderful book! As John Keats said, 'a thing of beauty is a joy forever'. I'm sure that's true of Jimmy's book! I have been told mine will arrive in the last week of January. I can't wait!

I hope you feel better soon. It's not fun being sick:( Take care, Magic

I hope you'll be returning to the forum very soon Danny. This place isn't the same without you!

The photos you posted of Stonehenge and Snowdonia are really beautiful. Thank you for sharing them on here.

Yes, vintage is very in vogue now in terms of fashion which is good news for me because I don't do jeans or trousers! I love the 1940s style tea dresse, or any clothes that have a vintage look to them. Looking through my postcards of the actresses from the '20s and '30s, the clothes they wore were so stylish, and they were natuarlly beautiful unlike a lot of actresses today.

Thanks for the comments on my profile. Yes, we are the same age! I know it's a bit late now, but happy birthday!

I do like the picture on your profile, she's very pretty. I collect postcards of actresses from that era, they were all very glamorous back then and classy!

That's such a groovy background! : )

You're welcome aeonblue : ) I look forward to chatting with you on the forum.

Thank you Deborah!

Thank you to everyone who's wished me happy birthday today, it really means a lot to me:) I've had a relaxing day listening to some music (and eating birthday cake!). I'm looking forward to meal out tonight now. I'm going out tomorrow to the shops to spend the money I've had for my birthday (it's not raining tomorrow!).

Thank you Kiwi. It's a miserable day here, it's dark and pouring rain. But I'm listening to some Led Zep to cheer myself up! I've had some great presents, and my partner taking me out for a meal later so I get a night off from cooking!

Thank you. I was hoping to have Jimmy Page's book for my birthday, but we've all got to wait another two weeks at least. Very frustrating!

We're having a very wet summer here in the UK. It's rained nearly everyday for the past month!

Thanks for your comment on my profile. I must say that I'm loving your new backgroud paper, it looks like Victorian flocked wallper, very sophisticated. I also love your new picture on your profile. Is that woman from the '20s or '30s? Do you know who she is? I love anything vintage!

I have a renewed appreciation for Thomas Hardy after just revisting Far From The Madding Crowd.
