Burlesque Ladies and Beatle Boys

What a week it has been for dressing up! Look at my boys and their cousins as
“mini-baby-Sgt. Peppers” - George Harrison
that were stars at the Bootleg Beatles concert….
And give it up for the Ladies of Burlesque who like to paint the town when there’s a full moon. Notice I have adorned my hat with a little burlesque dolly that I made out of clay, who jiggled about all night, at one point she was blown across the road, luckily she was unscathed and only a little flustered. I, however, needed a stiff absinthe!

Golden Party People last Saturday

At the beginning of the evening I witnessed boy and cats in front of fire.Later I joined the bright and shiny golden party people. The make up artiste added glamour while we ate and drank then got taxis and danced to (rather quiet) music.Take note of sequinned butterfly tops, long gold gloves, capes, wrestling belt, Flash Gordon, extra hair, gold eye-lashes, knickers, beads and lace.
At the end of evening my cosy home beckoned and the balls of my feet burned.

Halloween

Halloween is a time for all mothers and fathers to join their children in some spooky dressing-up. Here are some memories of my Halloween last night. Invite all strange spooky creatures and children into your house and challenge them to dip their faces into flour/water or spaghetti and find the sweet delights with their teeth – if they are too young mum or dad could do it for them!

Punting in Cambridge

Yesterday we visited Cambridge and went punting on the river Cam. There were a few professor types fluttering around in billowing robes and lots of students on bikes. Loads of chapels and all round brainy people.
Of course it prompted my brain to clunk into action as we crashed into the willow trees and fellow punters: Will I be wearing a jumper dress this autumn? Discuss.
