Meet Mr Darcy

So.....believe it or not I am going to do a post about our half term.....Yes I am still playing catch up!

There were three costume exhibitions going on at Berrington Hall. A display of costumes used in the 1995 BBC production of Pride and Prejudice, 18th century country casuals from the Charles Paget Wade Collection and also a display of ladies dresses through the ages made in a simple white or cream fabric to show the detail. All were excellent and I took many, many photos....as you will see!

 Now.....Mr Darcy....or at least 'The Shirt!'

 This was my favourite dress!

 The three sons of the house, all killed during World War One.

 You could dress up......if you were small enough!

 It was a bit wet to walk around the gardens.

So Come back soon for another catch up post!

Tree Following December

I am sneaking in my December Tree Following post today.

 We have had tons of rain in the past week or two but today was a clear frosty morning (although the fog and drizzle came later in the day).

 Still a few leaves on one limb (in the top of the above photo). 

Back soon with Mr Darcy!

another late catch up!

Sorry, yes I know I seem to always be saying sorry, I wouldn't be surprised if I have lost all my followers by now!
So lets start with November. What did we get up to?

 One fine weekend we went up to the Yorkshire Dales to Malham for a walk.

It was our 18th Wedding Anniversary.

We attended a Gala Dinner in aid of Ronald MacDonald House in Manchester.....under the wing of Concorde!

And I also attended a workshop at Hope and Elvis with the very talented Janet Clare.

 'Wordsmith' a bit of slow sewing on a cold November day is just what I needed.

 I have just remembered I promised to show you something to do with Mr Darcy......Next time!
