Between the Weald and Downland museum and Hampton court I have skipped over two days because I don’t have any photos I can share. On Monday we drove up to Herefordshire to see the costume collection at Berrington hall, and the Hereford city museum, but we were only allowed to take photos for personal use, we then drove back down to Reading where Aylwen’s relatives made us very welcome and took us to see Windsor Castle on Tuesday, but I wasn’t inspired to take photos. So we’re now up to Wednesday and Hampton Court where I took a lot of pictures including a costumed interpretation of the celebrations surrounding Henry VIII’s wedding to Catherine Parr.

testing, testing. 1, 2, 5. 3 sir.
This is my first blog post on wordpress, I want to see how it works so far it seems good and it lets me type next to my picture instead of wasting space I like this.
I have made up my mind WordPress is good livejournal is bad. So this will be my blog updated whenever I feel like it.
In case you’re interested most of this blog will be about historic costuming and this is post is going to be no exception. The picture to the left is probably my favourite portrait, it’s a portrait of Elizabeth Widmerpole by Hans Holbein I love the look and given the amazing similarity between our names I know I will have to recreate this outfit. If only I could get hold of a bigger copy.
