I love Bath!

(so I thought I'd use an icon from Bath!)
Bath was so much fun, the ball was so wonderful! and Sunday we spent dressed in Regency, wandering the town and then to Sally Lunn's for supper. The only down side was Mummy getting sick on Sunday night :( But she's all better now!
The upshot of such an AMAZING weekend, is that I'm too tired to upload all the photos to show you, but here's one to keep you going:
Photobucket
I striped to my undies as soon as we got back to the apartment ( on Great Pultney Street!) where we all had tea and cake after the ball, then once nearly everyone had gone back to their hotels Clare took some silly photos of me lounging in my unmentionables, I felt quite decadent :D
Tomorrow I start on my Indian print cotton jacket and petticoat, I'm giving myself until next Wednesday (when I go to London to get supplies for my gold stripe 1860s ball gown) to get it finished, I work best with a deadline, lets see if a self imposed one will work as well!

Looks wonderful! Decadent is definitely the perfect word to describe it.

Thank you! All I needed was some chocolate and a sparkly drink to be perfect :o)

Lovely photo.

I love the feather hair piece.

Thank you!
The feathers are some Osprey feathers my Great Grandmother inherited, and they're held in place with a paste brooch and a plastic chignon pin, so when I unpack they'll go back in their 90yr old tin tube!

Thank you! It didn't half give me grief though! So much swearing went on in front of that mirror ;)

That's adorable! Your lace collar looks really nice too. Can't wait to see the rest of your photos. Get a good rest first.

Thank you! Next time you visit the UK you'll have to make sure and visit Bath!

we had only a few hours in bath, just long enough for a tour of the roman baths and a quick run to the jane austen museum. i will definitely be returning! :]

I'd die for your hair! (and to be in Bath) it all sounds wonderful

Thank you! It's not like you live a million miles away from Bath though, is it?!
Mummy is better, so she gave me the bug instead!

Thank you, I'm feeling a hell of a lot better than I did earlier today!! Time for an early night I think.

You look wonderful! All you need is some bonbons. ;)
