Between Two Worlds

Well it was very quiet at the Antiques fair yesterday, probably a combination of the freezing cold and lack of pennies in the pockets post Christmas. I still really enjoyed it though. Had a lot of compliments about the look of my stall, did I take a picture? duh no.

Also a lot of people liking my stuff even if they didn't buy yesterday. I always enjoy the day, probably because I don't do it that often but mostly because I love talking to people.

It was originally a play in 1923, made into a film in the 1930's then remade in 1944, BINGO!!!!!

Here he is, David Brett. 'Time Out' magazine are loving him. And well they should.
The play is called Outward Bound.
See it if you can, it's an amazing story.
