About
My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.

There is a picture of her outside the Royal Albert and she has a small stain on her left upper thigh, it was said to be from “using” don’t know whether that was true or not but it was a sad loss when she died. Great performer, I have most of her LP’s and still play her CD’s, much to the chagrin of my kids 🙂

I love this song, but I did start liking her after I grew up a bit and realised there were other artists around except all the heavy metal bands I used to listen to…
