The Tudors had some surprising ways of getting around.

DW your dress is awfully close to that tyre. Or maybe it just looks close in the photo

You make that dress as well?

 

[duckweed]

Yes I made the dress. Couldn't afford to get one made for me. Though bought a hat. So I used an Ann Boleyn dress pattern and altered it to fit a wealthy yeoman's wife based on Katherine Blythe's will describing her clothes. I have to wear it tomorrow again as I have an interview with local press. Not looking forward to wearing it as its heavy and hot.

We are planning on going into city centre me on scooter and other people in costume giving out leaflets.

Since others are going to be dressed for the occasion as well would it be possible to get some photos to post on here please?

Like it Duckweed,though i must say your stallion looks like it has wheels and not hoofs:biggrin:
Good on you.

When I get some more interesting pictures I'll post them. Son is dressing up to read Norton folk tales (similar to Grimm) collected by a local man in the late 19th early 20th called Sidney Oldall Addy.


Without Addy most of the old folklore of England would have disapeared.

Addy's father was a coal mine owner but Addy was a solicitor. Addy is one of the unsung heroes I think. If you look on the net you can find some of his work to download free.

How great is that, that your son is taking a interest and involved as well

 

[duckweed]

I don't think my son is all that interested but he is a keen actor and never turns down an acting job.

He wen't down well. Got a whole crowd of children hanging onto his every word.

Ale or Lager in that Jug

Good on him Duckweed.

 

[duckweed]

Are you suggesting he's a lager lout? Actually it was a well known soft drink. A bit early in the day for Ale.
