This coming weekend should have seen us return to Hughenden for their 1940s Weekend. It’s not happening this year, obviously, so I thought it might be fun to look back at some of my favourite images from previous years.
Land Girls – 2018 
Lady of the Manor – 2018
Cpl Jones (of Dad’s Army) and lady friend – 2018 
Paratrooper – 2018
The Polka Dots – 2019 
Captain Mainwaring – 2019
Keeping the home fires burning – 2019 
Attempting the retro look – 2019
I know that at some point the 1940s Weekend will return and will hopefully be none the worse for having missed a year, but we’re all disappointed it’s not on this weekend. We enjoy it enormously and I’d been working on encouraging The Brainy One to dress as a spiv and The Boy Child to dress as an evacuee. 🙂

It does look like those events were fun. I like some of the hair styles from the 40’s, but oh so much work. How dashing would TBO be in one of those hats the spiv’s wore & from the photos of child evacuees, those sad little faces could match well with teen hormone looks! (col) Happy weekend.

Haha, TBC’s teenage face would be perfect as a grumpy evacuee! I think I’ve missed my chance, though, as next year he’ll most likely say he’s too old for dressing up …

This looks such fun – I do like the styles from this period. I am off to follow your links and see how previous weekends unfolded. Hoping you get to do it again – with both your men in tow. If dad can do it … :).

I’m also a fan of fashion from the 1940s – I sometimes think that we’ve gone too far in our norm of dressing-down.

What a shame, let’s hope it can go ahead next year and all men in the family can be encouraged to join in!

What do you think the odds are of me being able to convince them?
