THE ASSEMBLY VINTAGE STORE, LONDON

The following photographs are of a vintage store in London named The Assembly, which my daughter Corinne visited yesterday. She loved the layout of the store as it is in a huge warehouse with masses of space to exhibit the items for sale. Luckily she didn't buy anything this time !

There has never been a new fashion but its old.

WATCH OUT FOR THE VINTAGE SINGERS TERRY WOGAN

How many kinds of sweet flowers grow in an English country garden?
We'll tell you now of some that we know and those we miss you'll surely pardon
Daffodils, heart's ease and phlox, Meadowsweet and lady smocks,
Gentian, lupin and tall hollyhocks
Roses, foxgloves, snowdrops, forget-me-nots,
In an English country garden.

Alternative second verse:

How many insects find their home in an English country garden?
I'll tell you now of some that I know and those I miss you surely pardon
Dragonflies, moths, gnats and bees, Spiders falling from the trees
Butterflies sway in the mild gentle breeze
There are hedgehogs that roam and little garden gnomes
In an English country garden.

I can hear you all singing from here!

Where's this all going ?

The lady in picture above has bought this floral dress to exhibit at Hampton Court Palace.
She shows vintage flowers, wears vintage clothes and hires a Morris Minor car for the day. Sounds great fun doesn't it?
