Time to shut shop at Retro Dundee for a bit of festive fun.The door will be locked but you can continue to have a nosey at the window display.
Once again, it's been another thoroughly enjoyable dabble into the past.
Thanks too to those of you who took time to dip into your own treasures to share on Retro. It's amazing what you find when ye hae a wee rake!
Although I wont be posting any new material for 2 or 3 weeks, I'll be keeping an eye on the comments and the Retro Dundee email IN-box.
If anyone wants to contact me, or send any goodies for inclusion next year, the contact address is along the bottom of the groovy graphic.
Now that I've turned over the door sign to show the "CLOSED" side, I'll away and call for my horse & carriage to take me back to my castle.
I've got a smashing log fire burning, warming up my baffies on the hearth.
So as soon as I get home, I'll prise the lid off a tin of Creamola Foam, burst through the paper seal, stir some magic strawberry crystals into my tumbler and drink to your health.
A very Merry Christmas to one and all, and may you still be able to scoff the entire contents of your selection box, all in one day!
and a merry christms to you too x

Merry Christmas GG and a fabulous 2011 from all at Bridie Towers xxx
ReplyDeleteHappy Hogmanay when it comes!! I was a student for a year in Dundee in 1970 - 1971, teacher training, and enjoy your posts on Dundee. I was up there in September and enjoyed the time although soooo much had changed. I was leading a 'City Safari' to Dundee and Perth where we roam around on foot and public transport and were tourists in Lochee! - where some of my husband's Whamond relatives hailed from.

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and a Happy New Year when it comes, GG!
And remember, 'Auld Lang Syne' sees the old year out, not the new year in.
Enjoy your Hogmanay; in Dundee, the council doesn't mark it in any way - not even a rocket from the roof of the Caird Hall...
So, I'll be entertaining the troops at Letham Grange (a few tickets still available...)

Have a dark blue christmas G.
