Alfa Bet: The Alfa Garage in Eye, Suffolk


Here's the ginger carthorse at Titus Rowlandson's Victory Garage in Eye, Suffolk after repair work. The garage is set in an old apple orchard (windfall apples were taken home and made into a crumble) and in the background there are a two Alfa's that are seeking total restoration attention and a Spider awaiting collection.

A Maxi-dent Waiting to Happen

The current vogue for dressing as The Good Life’s Margo Leadbetter ‘I’m off to an afternoon soiree with the 70s jet set’ maxi dress has apparently ended in minor fashion disaster for two women in the workplace here. We noticed a Health and Safety warning was issued after one had ‘sustained a stair injury’ after treading on the hem of their garment whilst another had ‘sustained shoulder lacerations’ after someone else had stood on the hem while they were ascending stairs putting pressure on the shoulder strap of said garment and inflicting injury’. Maxi’s are a great look on Jerry Hall in 1970s après a day on the beach in Mustique with an Anthony Price clad Bryan Ferry on her arm, rather less glam on the wind-blown, grey and rainy streets of London town with an umbrella waiting for a 188 bus.

Oh How True, Darling...

A charmingly sardonic song from the chap from Manfester
Action is my middle name
I can't waste time any more
Everybody has a date with an undertaker
A date that they cannot break

Autumn on My Mind


Had been eyeing up these YMC Ghillie Brogues in Brown for a while. It was pay day, the last pair were on the shelves in my size and at a sale price. Need I say more?
