❤ Just love this picture on my edition ❤
OH! My Gosh!
Such a shocker what Sally Woreboyes wrote about those Maltese men of the East End underground world.
Otherwise, as I would expect, a good East End community,
The vibe I got from Stepney Green when I spent alot of time there early 2000s,
Due to my sister, her (East End growl) of a fella and their New baby😍
Keep on Dancing was Set from 1940 into the early 50s.
The grandmother had me laughing out loud:D
