A Step Back In Time

It was the Saturday we had all been waiting for! The 10th of January was the evening when my friend Mandy was having her hen night! Around thirty of us were decked out in 1940s dress and there was no rationings on style that night!

    Having completed a short shift at work earlier in the day I couldn't wait to get my glad rags on! I purchased a vintage style dress from We Are Cow in Birmingham and teamed it with some nude heels and a spotty bow headband!

All dressed and ready to go, we got in a taxi and headed to the Blitz Tea Room And Jazz Lounge in Kettering for the start of the evening! Located along Sheep street in the town, this quirky building really takes you back in time! Having heard amazing things about the Blitz Tea Room I couldn't wait to get inside! And I wasn't disappointed! Walking in, we were greeted by Mandy and all the other "hens" as well as the fabulous staff who were also decked out in uniforms from the War period! The room itself was an exact replica to how you would imagine a war time living room to be, with everything from its floral wallpaper to its open fire place! This really was a treat! Once we ordered our drinks, I chose my favourite cocktail Woowoo, we all sat down and was ready for the fun night ahead!

     A selection of food was set on our tables, which included lots of sandwiches, cakes and some scrumptious scones with jam and cream!

With the drinks in full flow and lots of laughter to be heard it was then time for some music. Blues and Jazz singer Luna Nightingale took centre stage, singing an arrangement of songs, some we knew and some we didn't but it didn't matter as her voice was perfect! 

Two sets of songs complete and some funky magic from the owner the night had come to an end! It truly was the perfect evening as so much fun was had throughout! This is definitely one for the memory books!
