Lola the Vamp
You have to remember this was a Family Fun Day, so we were actually lucky that she managed to take her gloves and sarong off, which she did with consumate poise and grace.
Quite amusing to see Emma and Ellie disappear like snow off a dyke when she took her first glove off.
Q:= Did Emma and Ellie know something we didnt? Was she really going to go the whole way in front of a crowd of 300 Grannies, expectant mothers , children and repressed aged husbands (myself included) not to mention the lady in the Burka directly in front of us.
A:=NO , she just wandered aimlessly onto the stage ,removed a pair of gloves and a sarong and wandered off again = Bliss
David thought she looking like a charming young lady just the kind you would like to take home and introduce to your Granny.
Breton Fisherman accosted by French Fillies - Jackpot
This is the moment that two French Fillies mistook David for a Breton Fisherman and promptly accosted him. David saw it as a complete vindication of his decision to go to the event "En Francais" and a just reward. His ego grew even bigger when they plonked themselves on his lap, however he was just a little crest fallen when it turned out they were from Prestatyn, North Wales, and had no galic blood whatsoever but strong welsh accents.
French Festival - Dressed for the Occasion
It has to be said the Ellie and Emma were horrified at David's get up, with protestations before we left home for the day, ( I wonder at what point do young ones loosen up and start having fun?) , but as they say when in France................... and it paid dividend's.
We spent the morning doing a flee market in China Town, after a Chinese Lunch we made our way to the South Bank for the French Festival. It was a sunny afternoon and the place was Buzzing , there were french produce stalls, and a staged performance area. The afternoon rang to the sound of French Cafe Bands , Childrens Choirs , and even a troup of Cross Dressed Hula Dancers (Who we didnt photograph as we didnt want to be seen showing an interest). The highlight was "Lola the Vamp" who removed a pair of gloves and a diaphanous sarong in a most provocative manner (other than that she stayed non-deshabille , well it was a family show after all). Fifi and David went all Francais for the event , which paid off for David who attracted a couple of French Fillies. (After their french accents slipped it transpired the pair were from Prestatyn, North Wales - what a disappointment). David and Fiona rounded the day off with an authentic Australian Punjabie Curry, which was remarkable that every two minutes the staff came up to the table to check that everything was ok, then returned two minutes later to see if it was still Ok , and then came back another two minutes later to see if it was really OK???. By the time we finished the meal and after about 8 visits we wondered if they were trying to tell us something - was the chef actually a psychotic poisoner.
