 Alternative Glastonbury/folk Concert/Monte Carlo

Not sure what festival food is as I only went to reading once and didn't enjoy camping, so have never been to a festival since.

I have been told it is takeaway food, but there are also healthy options like salad.

For the alternative night off from slimming I would opt for a dinner date at my favourite restaurant.  Instead of getting upset you haven't a ticket or getting upset your area is quiet ~ go for a nice meal instead ~ then just order the food of your choice.

Realistic Food Options until the above are possible again due to post covid.

At the 50's party last month the chip shop was closed so we adlibbed we were in Italy for the 50's.

Then adlibbed more and had frozen food.

We had pizza, chips and some frozen defrosted strawberry cheesecake left over from the 80's party.  It went down really well as we had been on salad and diet food the rest of the month.  I had it watching Lovejoy ~ really enjoyable evening lol!!!

For the Glastonbury party ~ what you have is anything you want as Glastonbury town also has cafes and restaurants.

It is a laid back day off like Glastonbury.

Saturday Night

I found festival food at BBC food, have to confess to not being a fan of festival food, but if you are there is a great selection

We will probably have Mcdonalds

Saturday Tv

I recommend Horror Hospital.  It is filmed at Knebworth in the 70's.  After this film was made there were hairy holidays at Stately homes.  The film is really good, discovered it during covid lockdown parties.  A new favourite film now.  Great for Alternative Glastonbury.  You can visit the location also, put the link on pinterest.

As this is alternative Glastonbury, I'll be watching Shirley Bassey at the Electric Proms.


Hopefully my Twinset sequin top will turn up to watch it in lol!!!

Sunday Night

I recommend going to a restaurant for your favourite Dinner.  Or cooking your favourite dinner and having your favourite dessert.  There are no rules as it is my idea.  If I was to choose one, I'd have steak, chips and onion rings followed by chocolate cake ~ preferably black forest gateaux.


Another of my favourite dinners is Salad Nicoise, I often choose this in restaurants.  Just discovered it is one of the dinner options available in ~Monte Carlo, where Terry and his wife went on holiday the following year.

You could opt for one of the meals available at Monte Carlo.  Have to agree with Terry on this one, I hate camping.  This idea fits with the style of alternative Glastonbury and the food is more up my street.

Have been living off storecupboard Salad Nicoise during COVID-19, you could make this and serve it with pomme frittes and a french wine until COVID-19 food restrictions go away.

Ideally would prefer it in a restaurant or will find some recipes.

I really like Terry's wife's Monte Carlo look _ it is a bit 70's air hostess.

We'll be watching the Spinners

and Pentangle


If you've been learning to dance, get up and try out your dance moves.

Just chill out, relax back watch some gigs eat your favourite food and add the tipples of your choice.

You can watch them all if you like and stay up till dawn.

Enjoy!!!

Next month is Summer Holiday Party in Britain.

 80's party easy access post Used to do this on Tumbler but it wasn't working properly last time so giving this website a try instead.  Have added advertising to make this legal. Just add your 80's fayre, whatever you can get at the moment, till things get better, your favorite 80's tipple, (alcoholic or nonalcoholic) and sit back and enjoy your fave film, will put my film recommendations on here but you can browse Pinterest for loads more 80's film and Tv choices.  Then get up and have a dance in your living room to a top of the pops party and take in some or all of the concerts.  In the COVID lockdown, we stayed up all night till the Waterloo sunset.  Lastly ~ enjoy!!! Saturday 2nd March These are my film recommendations ~ there are more in pinterest.  You can also try these two looks out in the 80s party fashion folder. Get up and dance off the food and drink to the top of the pops or drink water and get fit and loose weight, You can opt to celebrate all night!!!

 How to do an 80's Party During lockdown, I started throwing online parties.  I was on my own and didn't fancy getting drunk alone.  The internet answered my dilemma and I put together the top of the pop parties and horror films.  It became a weekly habit and getting up and having a dance to top of the pops with a drink turned out to be fun. This evolved into a few Christmas parties and a 70's themed party at the end of dry January. A few teeny bopper ravers were a bit sarcastic about online parties, but don't knock it till you try it. In the early days of Twitter, they may have even been shocked. In those days I had to do the heavy drinker test. Really enjoyed the alcohol and music parties, but then I had to go dry and dry out. The 80s party is a bit more organised than the rowdy chaotic early days. Got the idea for this from supersizers do the 80's. 80's fashion ideas recommended from this documentary Sue shops at Peter Jones in Sloane Square It is now partner

 Victorian Party Hello and welcome to the Victorian Party Easy Access point. The first thing I have to recommend is actual footage of Queen Victoria. Queen Victoria Arrives at a Royal Garden Party (1898) | British Pathé Her Majesty Queen Victoria. Last visit to Ireland. The only "Victorian" film.(1900). She looks really nice and she obviously loves her people and they love her. Hope this gives you a feel for Victorian Times. Just to make this legal ~ some advertising clive Christian  1872 Can't believe I found this, Victorian perfume is still available to purchase today.  The lid of the bottle is styled from Queen Victoria's crown.  This is a great find for a perfume junky or a Victorian history society member. click the link below if you would like to purchase or just browse out of interest . clivechristian.com/products/1872-feminine Have to say rose is one of my favourite fragrances which was one of the Victorian  favourites. The Victorian Party The Food  Wasn't
