A friend and I always had a thing about the past.We both potter around museums and love to visit old car shows.

He gets wistful over the 1960's and collects vintage minis, which he restores to make them appear even older than they really are and then displays them at old car shows.

I wish I was living in the 1930's or the Edwardian era.I really do feel that I am in the wrong era.I oogle old cars in public before realising that I am the only female in a group of men drooling over the car.I enjoy cross stitch and sewing- and in doing so, some feminist out there in the blogosphere is probably cursing me.I don't care for modern fashions and prefer the long dresses of my grandmother's day.If something goes over my knee I don't wear it and when on the rare occasion that I wear trousers, my friends are astonished.

So, I was pleased to discover I am not alone!
