It was an enjoyable event and several people complimented me on my dancing, which was nice.

Alton Ball 1

 Greetings

Last weekend we attended  the Jane Austin Birthday Ball at the Assembly Rooms in Alton.

As circumstances have conpired to ensure we have not made much more progress on our new coats, I attended the ball dress of my 18th Hussar uniform and Teddy wore his wedding suit.

This time, however, I elected to wear my fur cap and pelisse.

Here's one of us both.

and a close up

Soon after this was taken, we (of course) left our hats and my pelisse in the cloakroom.

The event was quite well attended and this made it a little cramped on occasion while dancing.

I will post more later.

Until next time

Christmas 4

 Greetings

I celebrate Christmas in the medieval tradition.

Christmas starts at Martinmas (11 November) and ends at Candlemas (2 February).

I tend to put up decorations well after Martinmas, as that date has now aquired other significance, but I don't take all my decoartions down at 12th Night.

I have two meals. One on Christmas Day and the other at 12th Night.

Here is the setting for my 12th Night meal this year.

These meals are the rare occasions that this table is not coved by two tablecloths ( one heat protective; one waterproof).

I use my favourite Royal Worcester china , cut-glass wine glasses and silver cutlery.

The table mats show parts of the Bayeaux Tapestry.

Once 12th Night has passed, I sometimes start to put away bits of decoration. In any event, the last bit to be taken down is the wreath on my front door, which stays there till Candlemas.

Until next time
