I was reading one of my vintage mags this afternoon (can't remember if this was from the 90s or 00s.) And I came across this article about hobbies and what they say about you as a person. I used to love these types of personality quizzes that you'd get in teen and women's mags back in the day. I'd spend maybe a bit too long trying to work out if I really was the personality type that was being described!

However while I love all the hobbies mentioned, I'm not sure they really do describe me very well. I think I am a curious woman of the world, and I am nostalgic of course - though not sure about a trendsetter 🤔 But as for everything else... Nah! They definitely didn't get it right where I'm concerned 😁 But maybe everyone else!

I like blogging. That's another hobby and my…

Hi beautiful people! 😀

My name's Jessica and I'm a brand new follower here. I love everything old school so I've definitely come to the right place! I see quite a few of you have introduced yourselves so I thought I would too.

I'm from the good old London Borough of Brent. Lived there until I was in my mid thirties (now in my late forties) and now live in Hertfordshire - funnily enough like a lot of the people I went to school with so I'm always bumping into them in and around town! I'm of Irish descent but I was actually born in India back in the mid seventies. My family came to live in London when I was about three, and we've been here ever since. My parents still live in the same house that me, my sisters and brother all grew up in so it's always…

Coronation weekend is just around the corner and I wanted to know what everyone will be doing. It's a once in a lifetime event (although I know there are people out there who will have been around for the Queen's coronation!) I've never seen one before and I am a fan of the royals so I'm quite excited.

As I work as a florist, I'm busy making arrangements and deliveries for all sorts of upcoming events. A friend of ours will be hosting a very special Coronation garden party (which might have to be moved indoors depending on the weather!)

Are you as excited about the Coronation as I am and what Britain will be like under the rein of the new King Charles?

So the community count has gone up by one! Brand new member here although my missus has been on this site here for a while but only told me about it quite recently. Hang your head in shame Laislabonita or whatever social media name your using here (she's got quite a few!) Don't you know that nostalgia is one of my many middle names?

It appears that it's the done thing around here to introduce yourself to the rest of the group. I'm not really very good at talking about myself as some of you may have gathered but I'll give it my best shot! 😉 I'm in my mid -fifties, born in the sixties, mad about the seventies, from good old Blighty, a dad of three, fur dad of one and husband to one (second marriage but who's counting?) I love travel with America being one of my best…
