WEEKEND INTERTUDE

 Today has been the perfect day to have friends in to lounge in the back and enjoy some lovely, refreshing sustenance of a few Pimm's Cups, some cucumber sandwiches and other little edibles.


And of course, enjoy the new release of Bananarama's newest.

And since it's hot as hell...their performance from 2018 in London Eventim Hammersmith Apollo.

  6. I've drunk Pimm's every summer for over a decade, but when I think about it, the flavor of Pimm's is really hard to describe. But to be sure, they are very refreshing. My lands do Bananarama still sound and look good. Love their new tune.

    1. It is Madame Redfern. I drank it straight once to try it and it was horrid. Much better mixed that's for sure.

    1. Just because they ended here with Cruel Summer and Preacher Man...doesn't mean they stopped. They've been going strong in Europe ever since.....

    2. Many, many hits, live appearances and tours, a reunion of the original trio, a return to a duo, a best-selling "autobiography", and they are still a top-billing act, 40 years on... Jx

  9. I love Pimm's too!!!! A summer treat. You can also make a Pimm's Royale. Exactly the same recipe but swap the iced tea for champagne. Just be careful …. It is very alcoholic 😂 Then enjoy the Bananrama! I had no idea they were still around?!?

    1. They never went anywhere in Europe....only here. I was smitten with them since the first time I heard Venus. And their Pop Life album was most excellent.

    Wow, I come home tonight, not in the best of moods, but this clip of Bananarama and the band (especially the drummer) doing "VENUS" had me bobbing around like those lucky ones in the audience.

    Thank you very much Mistress Maddie!!
