Still waiting for The Fixer!

Yes, for all of those who tuned in to see Props & Frocks fancy dress, the waiting continues!
At a time when we are expecting an invasion of enthusiastic new customers following our forthcoming TV appearance and the country anticipates an influx of tourists for the range of celebrations in Britain this year, today we commemorate the last invasion of Britain by foreign forces – in 1797. For reasons we need not go into, the invaders were the French but they had the novel idea of invading through Fishguard in Wales. Through a combination of luck, bluff and the indiscipline of the French forces, the invasion was defeated and the French had surrendered by February 24th. Also around this date in February 1848 was the start of the second major French Revolution.
Now we would like to think that the entente cordial between nations has improved over the centuries and with the Diamond Jubilee and Olympics on the not too distant horizon the chances of everybody working in partnership is one to be applauded. The Olympic motto is swifter, higher, stronger and we certainly hope that this is a year that allows everyone to achieve their goals, whatever they may be.
