mlsdesignsSorry for the delay in posting photos from our trip to the seaside, I've been busy sewing ever since we got home!
The day dawned foggy and unpleasant looking, not a very propitious start! But by about 9 the fog had gone, and by the time we were half way there the sun was out in full glory! We had wonderful weather, although it was a little windy, but it was beautifully sunny and the wind helped dry our suits!
Talking of which, there are several photos of our bathing exploits
Taken just after we arrived, with our young friends from dancing ( in bathing dresses made by their Mother)
Running into the sea!
Clare giving me a very wet hug (she actually swam, as opposed to just wading in up to her waist like me) and Mummy holding her skirt up so it wouldn't get wet!
The 2 of us after our swim, you can see how wet I got, but I was dry within minutes, or so it seemed.
After lunch we played graces to warm up, everyone played in the end, but I only had 6 pairs of sticks, so we took it in turns to wield the camera!
We're going to Deene Park on Sunday (another historic house!) for a Georgian picnic, and I have my chemise dress nearly finished, I just have to put a little more lace round the neckline and I think I'm going to take the lace off the cuffs and make them bigger, they're a bit tight at the moment. Meanwhile I've been working on our outfits for the Scottish Regency ball, Clare's little sleeveless spencer is done, and Mummy's dress is nearly done. I think, if I carry on as I have been doing, things will work out fine for me to get everything done before UTR, keep your fingers crossed for me!!
