Back to summer of 2024 when I appeared at the Crowland & Thorney 1940s weekend which I'll be returning to this year. #Pinup #stockings #vintage #nylons #glamour #1940s
Throwback to last Sunday where the tapes went up on my 2026 #Pinup tour which this year you'll see me in #1940s, #1950s & #1960s outfits.
Photograph taken of a 1940s green-grey loo roll holder against a well worn wall, with a roll of Izal medicated loo roll in place. Two of the rooms at Kiplin Hall were kept in the state they were in, when the beautiful property was requisitioned for military rehab for soldiers in the 1940s. Remember this pointless excuse for loo roll from primary school days! Dreadful stuff 😂
