I woke up on a dream this morning, which shows I am beginning to worry about this weekend. We are going to a fancy birthday party of a very old friend and neighbour in Beanacre. It is held in a hotel with all the marks of Wiltshire's stone heritage and a beautiful garden to boot.
But I note it is at Beanacre between Calne and Chippenham and not too far from Lacock Abbey, a must place to visit if you in this part of Wiltshire. The village has an old age feel to it and there is of course a few miles away the utterly 'roses' round the door old cottages to be seen at Castle Combe.

Wiki on Lacock Abbey And those interested in photography will be able to see the work of Henry Fox Talbot a pioneer of photography there.
These are the areas in which our archaeology weekends often took place and very close to my heart, as so much of the English countryside is ;) ;)
And so what was the dream? Well I was dressed to the nines in a turquoise dress (favourite colour) and very high heels ;) turquoise of course. I have never worn high heels since about my 30s but obviously I am worried about what to wear. I have a choice of two dresses, luckily, as I gave all my dresses away a few days ago! But kept my latest two which are from Sea Salt, I remember how Pat/Weaver also shopped there. They have a 'petite' size which is most useful.
Don't worry about the birthday weekend in Wiltshire Thelma. After all you are a mature, stylish woman and as your grandchildren will surely confirm - very cool too. How touching it will be to go back to a familiar area with echoes of your younger days.
ReplyDeleteIt was not long after I began reading your blog when you preparing for a wedding, and I gave you wise clothing advice, I am sure. No?
ReplyDeleteThe venue looks flash and the village, quite lovely. Don't be stealing a jolly jumbuck as you leave.
