granny hide-a-way

After many a day looking for the perfect granny spot i realised its a little more difficult, after all, they are normally rummaging through boxes of old clothes. But with a little help from an old friend i have succeeded and hit the jack pot!

Brief history of venue: The Amersham Arms from the people behind The lock Tavern in Camden have created something new for south London. Opened in 2007 it has brought a new live music seen to the south.

Enough about the venue, its a particular event on the last Saturday of every month which intrigues me and hopefully you! This very special event is called Going for a song and encaptures the desires of every granny including boys in Granddad jumpers. To start of its at a very call venue which is pub and a very old one this means you can have the odd sherry or two.  Its also an open mike night but don't expect Lady Gaga this is a vintage open mike with the likes of Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton. They also sell cakes for every desire to eat there or take home and eat with a cup of tea. So take a day out from baking, i no you love it, but give someone else's cakes ago. Saving the best till last and convincing you to leave your knitting at home its a jumble sale. So rummage with others and listen to music while your at it. Saturdays have never been so fun for you little young granny's, its defiantly not one to miss iv already started inviting my friends on Facebook. 

O and one last thing. Have you happened to find to many charity bargains recently? Started sleeping on clothes because you have run out of room? Well why not have a sort out and give some others ago. Its just 15 pounds to have your own stall which of course can be split between some friends to bring down the price.... A perfect excuse to make some more space to sleep or to buy more cardigans.

So whether you chose to sell or buy its an enjoyable day and and perfect for you granny's.

Don,t miss it else you will have to wait another month and trust me it will be your highlight!
