Pride and Prejudice

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” At Lyme Park this winter was celebrated the 200th anniversary of Pride and Prejudice. We’ve been yesterday, in the last weekend of the celebrations.

This way I would have looked 200 years ago. Yesterday, unlike today when it’s sunny, it was cold (5 degrees) and windy and raining. But that didn’t stop us to take advantage of the costumes and take the tour of the garden like that.

Hubby was dressed for the occasion too. We both enjoyed it very much. I loved my cap and bonnet, sadly the straw bonnets were for little girls, too small for me. Anyway, the fabric bonnet was lovely too. Hubby was pleased with his top hat and shirt&vest.
