I don't normally do this sort of thing, but I was heading for a train and on my way into Lime Street the light was streaming out of the station through the arches on the London Road side. I thought it'd make a great image but didn't want to miss my train so I dashed in, only to find that I had a good ten minutes to wait. Great news. Outside I go to get my shot. I was just settling on a spot and turning my point-and-shoot on when I heard a voice say something about a photo. "I'm sorry?" I said

"I thought you were going to take my photo" said this very smartly dressed chap

I laughed "I will if you like?"

Now this has happened a few times previously. To be fair, its always gentlemen who ask, with a smile, whether I want to take their picture. I hate to disappoint. The light was really too harsh but I positioned him as best I could to at least minimise the visual background noise. The highlights are a bit blown but I like it all the same because he has a lovely smile.

I asked his name and he said it was Gerard Conteh. When I commented that his is a very famous surname in Liverpool he replied that yes, he was John Conteh's brother, one of seven. He owns Hannah's Bar on Hardman Street. We had a lovely chat. He was really interesting and very generous with his time. A true Liverpool character and a very dapper gent.

It's your shinning moment.

Dapper Day at Disneyland

Thick vintage wool felt with vintage buttons. The back panel is merino, silk and Handspun alpaca from my cousin's Alpacas.

So we did get to go to the preshow on Saturday and I thought I would share some of the fun and goodies!

It was a fabulously Dapper Day in Hollywood Studios! I absolutely love the vibe in the parks on these lovely vintage inspired days!

Dapper Day Makeup

Ok so this was so funny to me and my hubby. As we were walking into Disneyland the Dappers were singing and I thought the tall one looked familiar and sure enough it was Nathan - OMG twice in 1 week. What a great way to kick off Dapper Weekend!!!
