A Marriage of Convenience

Those of you who are going (or have been) to our show, the Lavender Lounge Bar, on Sunday, August 10th, might be interested in these pieces from Kay Morley’s collection.

She and Skip married early in 1951 and lived together at Kay’s house in Preston Drove for fourteen years. Kay was a business woman and Skip was in the RAF so having a spouse came in handy for both of them. They never let it inhibit the expression of their true feelings, however – as we hear at the Lavender Lounge Bar in Kay’s own incomparable words.

Kay and Skip (centre) – quite possibly on their wedding day.

Below: When called upon to do so, Kay dug out her gold lamé clutch bag and joined Skip at the Officers’ Mess – in other circumstances she made a very convincing Harold MacMillan!
